First state, Excellent color. Print was stored properly, out of light in a folder.
Pencil notation at bottom right. Two areas of light rubbing at top two corners in margin. Clean verso with no tape marks.
Came from the estate of a major Shin Hanga collector. I was told by the seller that the old label is correct and this actual print was exhibited at Toledo in 1936. |
