| Notes (this edition)?: |
| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
From his estate comes this very rare woodblock by Hasui called Toyama. Mr. Muller kept good records, he had to, his collection was so large. Around each of his woodblocks was a slip of paper with information regarding edition/etc. On the paper around this print he had written this edition was made by Hasui in 1940 just for him. This print comes with a letter stating that this was made for Robert O. Muller and will be signed by his son. It is in pristine condition, fabulous to see in person. Measures 15 1/4 by 10 1/4 inches. Reserve reflects the uniqueness of this print and it's fabulous condition.
