Beautiful Meiji Era printing

100 Famous Views of Edo - In 1856, Hiroshige began designing what was to be his last great series and a masterpiece - 100 Famous Views of Edo. Each print from this series was a classic Hiroshige landscape work, taking advantage of the vertical format to capture a slice of life from Edo in dramatic and interesting ways. The series was very popular with the public and new releases were eagerly anticipated over the time that Hiroshige released the designs. Beautifully colored and finely printed, our prints from this series are a nice opportunity to collect these 19th century landscape images.

Fukagawa Susaki and Jumantsubo - Fantastic Hiroshige design of an eagle hunting over the barren plains at Jumantsubo, viewed from Fukagawa Susaki. This incredible image is one of the best of the series, with the powerful form of the eagle sweeping across the sky as it dives for prey. The snowy landscape stretches into the distance, dotted with trees, with mountains along the horizon beneath a wintry blue sky. The bird's feathers are beautifully detailed, and the background features fine bokashi shading in the water and sky. Hiroshige's incredible image of the soaring eagle is a fantastic example of his great masterworks, and a very rare find. If you've always wanted to own this dramatic Hiroshige piece, this is an excellent opportunity.
