Drawing of Commodore Perry

::

Grossly distorted if not humorous rendition of Commodore Perry by a Japanese artist who apparently never knew what Perry really looked like. It was drawn at a time when the Japanese thought all foreigners were barbarians.



The caption says that this is a portrait of Perry from North America at age 60 with graying hair.
