This lovely print looks to be that of Mt. Fuji. I do not know the date or the artist. The only mark I can find is the cartouche of the artist. I have searched many websites but cannot identify the marks. The frame measures 13 ½” x 21 1/8”. I do not know the actual size of the print, I did not open the frame. The picture is in its original frame and will probably need a new mat and new paper on the back. I have included a photo of the back with the label that states Guenther Galleries. The color in the picture is excellent. |
