Photographic prints from an early 1880's US Naval expedition to the Far East are the subject of the current exhibit, 'Of Power and Profit, American Seaman in East Asian Waters', at the Institute of East Asian Studies, Univ. of California, Berkeley. High resolution scans were made from a set of original glass plate negatives aquired several years ago by John Dowling and are on loan for the exhibit.
The collection features the work of Asa Mattice, US Naval officer aboard the USS Juniata, showing scenes from China, Japan, Korea, India, Zanzibar, and Madagascar. Captions are based on research in many primary sources at the National Archives, online, and in the journal of Dr. George W. Woods, ship's surgeon aboard the USS Juniata. Wood's original manuscripts reside at Washington State University and were published by the ISEA in 1984. The discovery of these rare images brings together the words of Dr. Woods and the photographs of his shipmate, Asa Mattice, for the first time in nearly 125 years.
Prints and reproduction rights are available on the website or by contacting John Dowling at jdphoto@twcny.rr.com.
