Description : "Flower Blossoms," original Japanese woodblock print, measures app. 15x10.5 inches, image area is app. 14x9.5 inches. Print was framed when acquired, has tape residue on reverse. Frame was badly deteriorated, could not be restored. Art is not titled (above title is mine, type flowers unknown), publisher and date of publication unknown but believed to be quite old (judging by the condition of the framing), perhaps from the late 1940s or 1950s. Reverse is heavily toned where cardboard backing leached through - white borders and image area are also toned, but colors remain strong and vibrant. Paper is slightly crinkled along right side, but proper matting and framing will reduce or eliminate most of the faults. Printed on heavy stock, print has substantial bleed-through and indentation where pressure was applied during printing process.
