Fukagawa, Suzaki, Juman-tsubo, “One Hundred Thousand Tsubo Plain, Suzaki, Fukagawa” from Mesho Edo hyakkei, “Hundred Famous Views of Edo.” The set published by Uoya Eikichi between 1856 and 1859 (this being 1857). An eagle hovers over the snowy coastal plain, Mt. Tsukuba and the Chiba mountains in the distance. Collectors at the beginning of the 20th century considered this the pre-eminent design from the set. Since then Ohashi has replaced it.

Very good impression and colour. Slight edge soil, otherwise very good condition. Signed Hiroshige ga.
