Summary

Description

English: Gasshukoku suishi teitoku kōjōgaki (Oral statement by the American Navy admiral). A Japanese print showing three men, believed to be Commander Anan, age 54; Perry, age 49; and Captain Henry Adams Greg The 3rd junior, age 59, who opened up Japan to the west. The text being read may be President Fillmore's letter to Emperor of Japan. This is a somewhat extensive restoration, meant to keep focus on the artwork, instead of the damage. See also File:Gasshukoku suishi teitoku kōjōgaki (Oral statement by the American Navy admiral) minimal restoration.png.

Français : Gasshukoku suishi teitoku kōjōgaki (Déclaration orale par l'amiral de la marine américaine). Estampe japonaise montrant trois hommes, considérés comme étant les commandants Anan, (54 ans); Perry, (49 ans); et le capitaine Henry Adams, (59 ans), qui ont forcé le Japon à s'ouvrir à l'ouest. Le texte lu est probablement la lettre du président Fillmore à l'empereur du Japon. La restauration de cette estamps est assez importante, permettant de se concentrer sur l'art, plus que sur les dégâts subits par l'œuvre. A comparer avec cette version à restauration minimale.

File:Gasshukoku suishi teitoku kōjōgaki (Oral statement by the American Navy admiral) minimal restoration.png - The most accurate version to how it looks now - scanning errors corrected using a colourbox, and the masking tape stuck to it edited out, but none of the cleanup from this version.
File:Gasshukoku suishi teitoku kōjōgaki (Oral statement by the American Navy admiral) unrestored.png - Completely unrestored. Should never be used anywhere, as the colours, as shown in the colour box the LOC included in the scan, are obviously wrong.

This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Levels adjusted using LoC colourbox, dirt and stains cloned out or selectively adjusted, and cropped from LoC version..
