Excellent registration and impression with very strong bleedthrough of pigment to the verso. It is quite amazing that an image dominated by brown colouration could be so full of depth and atmosphere. A most captivating image.

The print has been extremely well kept down the years. It has never been set down. Has full margins. No foxing or toning whatsoever. The print looks amazingly fresh.

They came from the living estate of a prominent Charlotte, North Carolina, 103 year old woman who resided in Japan until 1940.
