treaty of portsmouth memorial print by christopher j. ward
To celebrate the treaty, and the efforts that led up to it, the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Anniversary Committee established a Portsmouth Peace Treaty Memorial Fund, the proceeds of which will enable the commissioning of a memorial that is a permanent reminder of the event and a celebration of the roles Roosevelt, Japan, Russia, the US Navy, the State of New Hampshire, and the citizens of Portsmouth played in the treaty negotiations.
The committee commissioned a painting by celebrated maritime painter, and seacoast resident, Christopher J. Ward, from which limited edition prints were made. The painting depicts the arrival of the Russian and Japanese delegates in August 1905 and their transit through Portsmouth Harbor transit, in US Navy motor launches, to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where the Treaty was negotiated and signed. It includes images of the USS Dolphin, the North Church steeple, St. John's Church, Merchant's Row storehouses, the Moffatt-Ladd House, the SS Mineola Isles of Shoals ferry, and other historically accurate sights of 1905.
A limited edition of 900 individually signed and numbered prints was produced. Purchasers of the prints will be credited as "Founders" of the Memorial and their names are listed below. Individually signed, numbered, and embossed prints have been produced on Arches Infinity, museum-quality, archival paper. A limited number of the prints were
remarqued by the artist. A certificate of authenticity from the Peace Treaty Memorial Fund accompanies each print.
