EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print showcases the magnificent Statue of Commodore Matthew Perry, a remarkable piece of art created by Joshua Appleby Williams in 1850/89. Believed to be the Matthew Perry Monument located in Newport, Rhode Island, USA and designed by John Quincy Adams Ward, this statue pays homage to the renowned naval officer. Commodore Matthew Perry was an influential figure in American history, known for his significant role in opening trade relations with Japan during the mid-19th century. This sculpture beautifully captures his commanding presence and dedication to naval warfare. The photograph's monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to every intricate detail of the statue. The contrast between light and shadow highlights its grandeur while evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this image is a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage and its contributions on an international scale. Through Williams' lens, we are transported back in time to witness not only a stunning work of art but also an emblematic representation of bravery and diplomacy. This photograph invites us to reflect upon our country's past achievements while appreciating the enduring power that statues hold as symbols of honor and remembrance.
