PUG on CUSHION WOODBLOCK PRINT with "Gauffrage" by Takahashi Shotei, 1926 This is a charming woodblock print of a beautiful little Pug dog sitting on a colorful cushion. The red ruffled collar looks great against his silky black & white fur. An especially nice feature on this print is the "Gauffrage" (embossing) technique. The embossing emphasizes the waves in the fur and the fabric pattern on the pillow, etc. Aside from the signature printed in the upper left, there is also a printed mark in the lower right border. The print is glued only along the top edge to the silk-covered back board. I have included detail photos that show the condition problems that I noticed. The upper corners have torn, probably from someone trying to remove it from a previous mounting. The tears are very small, about 1/4 inch of each upper corner. The pieces are attached to the current backboard so nothing is missing. There is evidence along the backside bottom edge that it had been attached in that area, previously. Also, in the center area of the print there are a few small discolorations and a couple of pin holes. When held to the light, you can see that this laid paper. There are some marks that may be light scratches, or may be just be the natural look of the surface of this type of paper. In that photo of the center area, you can also see the gauffrage, or embossing, throughout to emphasize the flow of the fur, etc. There are also 2 small labels on the back of the print, the lower corners. The overall size of the paper is 9 3/4 x 14 7/8 inches. Although there are some condition issues, you would only notice them on close inspection. |
