Description

A Japanese woodblock print triptych, executed in the Ukiyo-e style, likely dating to the Meiji period. Depicting a dynamic battle scene with soldiers, some mounted, engaged in combat amidst visible cannon fire and fortifications. Rendered on paper with traditional inks and pigments, the triptych comprises three individual sheets. The rightmost panel features a vertical inscription in Japanese characters in the upper right, likely a title, while the leftmost panel includes a vertical text block with what appears to be a publisher’s or artist’s mark in the lower left corner.


Condition report:

The prints exhibit significant fading, particularly in the blue and red tones. Signs of age-related wear include minor tears along the edges, general creasing, and uneven sheet edges.
