Up for auction is this exceptional antique woodblock print. It is signed but I cannot begin to tell you who did it. I have three pictures of the signature, which is in black on black background, at the far left side of the art. In the frame it is approximately 21" Wide and 17" in height. The image area is 15" wide and 10" in height. Absolutely wonderful condition for its age.
