Emil Orlik: Nihon-bashi, Tokyo
colour lithograph, 1901 Plate/Image Size: 27 x 21 cm - (10¾ x 8¼ inches) Sheet Size: 33.7 x 28.5 cm - (13¼ x 11¼ inches) signed in the stone and with a blue Japanese printer's stamp
a brilliant impression of this very rare lithograph, a proof for the final state which was included in the portfolio Aus Japan; this proof has vignettes of Japanese characters in the lower margin whereas the published version did not have them on creamish stiff wove paper with full margins in excellent condition
