Anonymous (c. early 1800's)
A bird's-eye panorama of Nagasaki harbour. These views are the most
remarkable of the Bunkindo productions demonstrating linear perspective
and, when early impressions as here, showing the use of block and stencil
printing. The only illustrated example I have catalogued is in the Tokyo
National Museum illustrated in Nagasaki Prints and Early Copperplates,
Masanobu Hosono, Kodansha, 1978, pl. 27, p. 51. Ex Prof. Boxer collection
(his seal bottom right corner). Large oban: 13 by 17 inches; 33 by 43 cms.
Exceptional impression and condition for this genre of print, with
large margins. Fine.
