(3) Antique Japanese Woodblock Prints and (1) 1920s French Illustration Print. 2 of the Japanese prints are by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), one titled "Yoshida" from the series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road" that depicts people passing over a river on a bridge, and the other titled "Evening Snow" depicts a ryokan shrouded in white. The third Japanese print, depicting a bird on a branch in winter, is by Bakufu Ohno (1888-1976). Kanji throughout on the Japanese works. The final print has classic Art Deco influences, depicting three flapper women next to a parked car, likely by René Vincent (1879-1936) and demonstrating the enormous impact (particularly on perspective and dynamism) that ukiyo-e prints had on the rest of the art world due to the Japonisme craze.
