Commodore Perry's Expedition to Japan 1856 Harper's Magazine

Many years ago, I bought a hardcover bound volume of Harper's Magazine from 1856. However, it contained hundreds of pages that held no interest for me. Consequently, I decided to extract the most important article from it: Perry's Expedition to Japan. Notably, this article was published before Nicholson's official account in his narrative titled Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, performed in the years 1852, 1853, and 1854, under the command of Commodore M.C. Perry, United States Navy, by order of the Government of the United States.

To preserve this extract, which also required a cover, I opted to create a Japanese binding for it, and I am pleased with how it turned out.
