A lovely image showing a group of cats on a Japanese street - there's a street musician playing a biwa (The biwa is a Japanese short-necked fretted lute, often used in narrative storytelling. The biwa is the chosen instrument of Benten, goddess of music, eloquence, poetry, and education in Japanese Shinto.), what looks like a food vendor, selling his wares, and lots of other cats dressed in kimonos. The street shops are decorated with banners and lanterns - a really lovely image by the inimitable Louis Wain.Please see condition details before buying
Very Good - Some MarkingThere is some marking caused by fingering which gives the print a slightly crumpled look, and some slight speckling and browning in patches. The image had some faint pencil markings which have been erased. Please be aware of this before bidding. This does not detract from the beauty of the print. A Note on condition: Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitorAlso Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
