19305608Tokyo: N.P C1930. A beautiful woodblock print reproducing one of Hiroshige's famous illustrations. Although undated it is likely from the 1930's. Although a reproduction it is a genuine woodblock copy not a modern digital or lithographic print. In excellent clean condition it is loosely tipped onto a card backing sheet and has a stiff car folder with it. A humorous poem by Hachijintei written at the top of this painting. Shortly after completing "The Fifty-Three Stations of the TÅkaidÅ" Hiroshige published "Famous Places of Edo in the Four Seasons" a set of four prints: "Moon over RyÅgoku" "Snow over the Sumida River" "Flowers over Gotenyama" and "Red Maple Trees at KaimÅji Temple." Each of these works skillfully combines composition and color in a long-haired style and despite being small pieces from Hiroshige's prime they are considered one of his masterpiece series. There are no publisher details to the work. Overall in excellent condition with just a touch of staining from the original process to the right hand edge. Print is 44.5cm x 15.5cm. backing card and folder are 44.5cm x 31cm. . Une magnifique estampe sur bois reproduisant l'une des célèbres illustrations d'Hiroshige. Bien qu'elle ne porte pas de date elle date probablement des années 1930. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'une reproduction c'est une véritable estampe sur bois et non une impression numérique ou lithographique moderne. En excellent état elle est légèrement collée sur une feuille de carton et est accompagnée d'un étui rigide. Un poème humoristique de Hachijintei est inscrit en haut de cette estampe. Peu après avoir achevé « Les cinquante-trois stations du TÅkaidŠ» Hiroshige publia « Les lieux célèbres d'Edo au fil des quatre saisons » un ensemble de quatre estampes : « La lune sur RyÅgoku » « La neige sur la rivière Sumida » « Les fleurs sur Gotenyama » et « Les érables rouges au temple KaimÅji ». Chacune de ces Å“uvres combine habilement composition et couleur dans un style « à poils longs » et bien qu'il s'agisse de petites pièces datant de l'apogée de Hiroshige elles sont considérées comme l'une de ses séries de chefs-d'Å“uvre. Il n'y a aucune mention de l'éditeur sur l'Å“uvre. Dans un excellent état général avec juste une légère tache due au procédé d'impression d'origine sur le bord droit. L'estampe mesure 445 cm x 155 cm. Le carton de support et le dossier mesurent 445 cm x 31 cm. N.P unknown
