Subject:Black ship print?
Posted By: Alex Epstein Sun, Jul 21, 2019 IP: 45.72.134.189
I would love to find this print, but I don't know its name or the artist! I believe it is of Commodore Perry's black ship in Tokyo Bay.

Hi,
Your picture is reverse.

The artist name is Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (月岡芳年).

The one you show is a mirror image of the original. Do you want an original? It is by Yoshitoshi. You can buy a copy here:
