LIEUTENANT-COLONEL EDWARD ST. JOHN NEALE, C.B., THE BRITISH CHARGÉ D’AFFAIRES IN JAPAN, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Lieutenant-Colonel Edward St. John Neale, C.B., the British Chargé d'Affaires in Japan, 1864. 'Colonel Neale...has just brought our differences with the Japanese authorities to a satisfactory close...He was appointed British Vice-Consul at Alexandretta in 1841...[and] was promoted to the consulate of Varna, in Bulgaria...[He was transferred] to the British Consulate of Bosnia, including Herzegovina and Montenegro. In 1860 he was promoted from the consular to the diplomatic service, on being appointed her Majesty's Secretary of legation to the Embassy at Pekin; and in 1862 he was named Secretary of Legation in Japan..., [a post which] afforded him a fine opportunity for the display of that cool courage and sound good sense which he is known to possess in a remarkable degree. Step by step, with much diplomatic art, he brought the Japanese rulers and people to a better conception of, and respect for, the British power. He obtained submissive apologies and heavy compensation for past injuries from the Tycoon and his potent vassal, the feudal Prince Satzuma; and he has created a feeling of security in the merchants trading with Japan that is likely to lead to a more peaceful state of things for the future, and to very great mercantile prosperity'.

SIR RUTHERFORD ALCOCK K.C.B., OUR ENVOY PLENIPOTENTIARY IN JAPAN..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Sir Rutherford Alcock K.C.B., our Envoy Plenipotentiary in Japan, from a photograph by F. Beato, of Yokohama, 1864. 'The opening of Japan to English commerce is a most beneficial achievement of the last ten years. No small part of the merit of this result is due to the exertions of Sir Rutherford Alcock, formerly the British Consul at Simoda, and now her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of the Tycoon. Captain Sherard Osborn, in his pleasant little volume of "Japanese Fragments," relates the events of 1853, when the American squadron of Commodore Perry had so intimidated the rulers of Japan, that they were fain to grant access for foreign vessels to the ports of Hakodadi and Simoda, though no relaxation was yet allowed of the jealous restrictions upon foreign trade. It was, we believe, by the efforts of Mr. Harris, the American Consul, and of Mr. Rutherford Alcock, the English Consul...that the hostility of the Japanese official authorities was overcome, and a way prepared for the conclusion of the international treaty. Sir Rutherford Alcock, K.C.B., having received the honour of knighthood with his present diplomatic appointment, during his sojourn at home last year, has lately returned to Japan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Sir Rutherford Alcock K.C.B., our Envoy Plenipotentiary in Japan..., 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

VICE-ADMIRAL KUPER, C.B., COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA STATION, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Vice-Admiral Kuper, C.B., Commander-In-Chief of the East India and China Station, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by M. Beato in Japan. 'Commander Kuper distinguished himself by his services in China...Participating in the naval operations at Canton, he was advanced to the rank of Post Captain and nominated a Companion of the Bath; and he brought home part of the indemnity in specie received from the Chinese Government...[He] was subsequently employed on the Pacific station, and rendered essential service by the judgment and temper he displayed in encountering the pretensions of the United States in reference to Vancouver Island and Columbia, and by the aid he afforded in facilitating the establishment of the former colony. Attaining the rank of Rear-Admiral at an unprecedented early age, and combining capacity for civil administration with naval experience, he was selected...for the highest and most important command in the service - that of the East India station, previously only conferred on officers of advanced life as well as distinguished services...Admiral Kuper had the grief, just before leaving this country to assume his Indian command, to lose from diphtheria, almost coincidently, two sons of great promise'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Vice-Admiral Kuper, C.B., Commander-In-Chief of the East India and China Station, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
