Description
A collection of three Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints on paper, each from the series titled ‘東京名所美婦揃’ (Tōkyō meisho bijin soroe – Collection of Beauties at Famous Places in Tokyo). Created in the late Meiji period, with one print clearly bearing the date ‘明治廿三年’ (Meiji 23 / 1890). Each print features one or more figures, predominantly women in traditional attire, set within or against recognizable Tokyo landmarks or cityscapes, accompanied by a smaller illustrative inset panel above. The style blends Bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) with Meisho-e (pictures of famous places), employing a palette of blues, reds, greens, and purples.
Condition report:
All three prints show considerable signs of age and wear, including significant discoloration, extensive creasing, various tears, minor paper losses, and rough edges, indicating a fragile overall condition. The colors appear somewhat faded but still retain vibrancy.
