Description : Offered for sale is a wonderful, block signed Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida (1886-1960), titled El Capitan, 1925, from the United States Series. This print is illustrated at pl. 10 of The Complete Woodblock Prints of Yoshida Hiroshi, Ogura, Tadao et. al., Abe Publishing Co., Ltd., (Tokyo, 1987). This is a posthumous printing, and as such, it lacks a jizuri seal. However, we rarely see posthumous prints from this series and believe it is somewhat rare. Moreover, a lifetime impression of this design, in comparable condition, would cost thousands of dollars. This print is has very good color and condition, although there is a smudge in the lower left part of the sky and faint color bleeding in the margins. The image measures approximately 9 ? by 14 ? inches, plus margins.
