Subject:Help with Artist Stamp & Signature

Hope someone can help - have a wood block print with lots of writing and stamps etc. Note there is a lot more than I can show with only 3 photos... will added more later.

Many thanks, Johnnie

This print was designed by Utagawa Kunisada II (1823-80). The series title reads 'Kannon reigenki' (The miracles of Kannon).
This series was published in 1859 by Yamada Shôjirô. Other participating artists were Hiroshige II and Kunisada I.

See link to the Kunisada Project below.

URL Title :Kannon reigenki

Your print is a collaboration between Kunisada II (bottom) and Hiroshige II (top) (printed in 1859) from the series: Miracles of Kannon (Kannon reigenki). It is Onraku-ji at Mount Shôfû in Ogasaka, No. 23 of the Chichibu Pilgrimage Route (Chichibu junrei nijûsanban Ogasaka Shofûsan Onraku-ji).

The Boston MFA has a copy of the print here:

Given the poor state of the print - it is very faded and toned - I think you will be hard pressed to get $50. A site like artelino.com won't take it as it doesn't meet their minimum quality standards. Your best bet is probably eBay.

Actually, you might do better than I thought. There is another print from the series on artelino now with a $150 bid on it:

https://www.artelino.com/auction/catalog_show.asp?art=0&itm=69539&evt=1520&mee=0&pp=2&pp1=1&rp=14&rp1=1&rp2=14&lvl=2&sea=&sel=

I haven't seen more than pieces of your print, but I suspect it is in worse shape than the one on artelino.

Cheers,
Stan
