Post-WWII Estate Collection - In today's auctions we're pleased to offer a special estate collection of beautiful, mid-twentieth century floral designs that date from just after WWII. An American collected these Uchida Publisher prints in Japan immediately following the war, so they are all first edition woodblocks from the late-1940s to early 1950s, an important consideration since many of these designs continued to be printed much later. Carefully observed and beautifully drawn, these attractive images feature a range of color from soft pastels to rich jewel tones. These lovely modern designs are a great choice to collect or display, either singly or in groups. 

Chrysanthemums - Beautiful modern design of large chrysanthemum blossoms. The two pink flowers are rendered in lovely shades of pink, rose, and deep red, the curving petals surrounding a golden yellow center. The white bloom is shaded with palest green. A terrific floral subject that would make a striking framed presentation.
