| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | Saturday, 17 December 2005 Bold and vibrant colors in this 10.5" X 14.5" Japanese Woodblock. This came from the collection of a Vermont gentleman collecting in the 1950's. Based on the sophistication and range of his collection I believe this to be a good 20th C woodblock. I'm not familiar with the name, it came with an overmat on which is written in pencil "Original Print " and "Hoson". I am relying on your knowledge, you now know what I know. Condition is quite good, attachment is with what appears to be 2 spots of glue in the upper corners. Mat size is 19.5" by 13". Also numbered 29 on the back of print. |
