Title
Funchal, Madeira from the Curral
Description
Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry (1794-1858) stopped here to refuel and reprovision his ships en route to the Far East. Two men in the foreground are carrying goods in a hammock-like arrangement. A port with ships at anchor is visible in the distance. Perry led a US government expedition designed to open up trade with Japan, which had been in self-imposed isolation for almost 200 years. The notes and journals kept by Perry and his officers were compiled by Francis L Hawkes and published as "Narrative of the expedition of an American squadron to the China Seas and Japan : performed in the years 1852, 1853, and 1854 _", (Washington, 1856).

The author died in 1850, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
