Summary:

"This wide-ranging volume brings together over seventy five significant woodblock prints from the collection of Worcester Art Museum, MA, spanning three hundred years, from the seventeenth century through the twentieth. Organized chronologically, it begins with rare, and in some cases unique, examples of Edo-period (1603-1868) woodblock ukiyo-e prints, many of which were sourced from the museum's seminal John Chandler Bancroft collection, donated in 1901. Encompassing a diverse range of sizes, materials, and subjects, among the renowned artists represented are Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kunisada, Utagawa Hiroshige."--Amazon.com.
