EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Scenes in Asia' from the book 'For the Amusement and Instruction of Little Tarry-at-Home Travelers' published in London in 1819 by John Harris, showcases a collection of historical views of Japan during the Regency era. The first image depicts a Japanese woman being carried in a sedan chair on wheels, a luxurious mode of transportation for the elite. The intricate twisting of the rope and cable used to secure the chair is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the era. The second scene portrays a somber moment in Japanese history, with Japanese Christians being forced to step on a crucifix (fumie) in Nagasaki during the 17th century as a form of punishment and renunciation of their faith. The third image captures the moment when natives in the Lewchew Islands (Okinawa) paid their respects to a British sailor from the Lord Amherst ship during his burial in 1832. The natives are shown wearing traditional attire, including straw hats and weaving lace, while the British sailors are dressed in their naval uniforms. The print also includes images of various trades and industries in Japan, such as hand-coloured woodblock prints of workers making factories, cottage industries in Dunstable, Deptford, Buckingham, and the production of wealth and manufacture through commerce and industry during the Industrial Revolution. The intricate woodblock, woodcut, and engraving techniques used in this print provide a vivid and educational glimpse into the costumes, customs, and daily life of Japan during the Georgian era. The print serves as a valuable historical record and a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the time.
