Description:
Depicts the statute of the Great Buddha located in Kamakura, Japan. Published by Watanabe Shozaburo in 1916, as one of Bartlett's nine Japan prints in his portfolio "2nd Series". Signed in graphite, lower left margin, with "CWB" and "Kamakura 1916" inscribed in rectangles in lower right corner of print. Watanabe's seal in lower left corner of print. Pinks are strong, which is significant since reds tend to fade first. Print, margins, and back of print are clean. Graphite inventory notation on back, lower right corner. Print and paper are in very good condition, considering it was printed at least 98 years ago. Upon very careful examination, there are some “crinkles” in pavement. Print does not show any signs of repairs.
