Reede van de Parkeler, the head of Deshima from 1786 to 1788, may have started the trend for copper oval plaques when he sent two to his father in 1793. These plaques, lacquered with images of famous Europeans and Roman emperors from the French publication L'Europe Illustré (published between 1755 and 1765), marked the first use of Western designs in Japanese lacquer work. This innovation was highly successful and spurred the production of plaques adorned with Western battle scenes and city views. Compare with a similar Japanese lacquered oval panel, depicting John Locke, late 18h century, in the Victoria and Albert Museum, illustrated in Encounters: The Meeting of Asia and Europe 1500-1800, London, 2004, p.248, no.18.17.
