Hiroshige: 100 Famous Views of Edo
by Henry D. Smith II & Amy G. Poster
"In the opening overview and in the notes presented on the pages facing each plate, [Henry] Smith skillfully and sensitively describes the images, the artist and Edo, and offers rewarding insights on the interchange between the larger tradition of the Japanese woodblock and Hiroshige's singular creative talent."---Art in America. Within this volume, which is reproduced with exceptional care from a first-edition set in the Brooklyn Museum of Arts, mid-nineteenth century master artist Hiroshige revealed the panorama of his city's activities with subtle and vivid visual anecdotes, making it a tour de force of both artistic vision and print-making craftsmanship.
