Description: What can I say. It happens all the time and that is what makes the pristine examples demand such a high price. This original circa 1832 Hiroshige woodblock print known as Yokkaichi Mie River view 43 from the 53 Stations of Tokaido was presented to Josephine Gribble in 1923 as a gift from a journalist friend who had worked in Shangai. If you understand the lifestyle and financial hardships of the midwest in the 1920s you wouldn't give a 2nd thought toward the mindset of Josephine to say "Oh, if I trim the edges a bit I can fit it in my old picture frame. And there it stayed for the past century. Understandably, the value is greatly effected by the trimming, yet the presentation of the wonderful art is still fully intact, albeit, obviously not for the collector purist, but for the Japanese woodblock art form lover who takes pride in both the originality and enjoyment display of the piece. Trimmed to a present size of 9.75" x 13.5" It remains a beautiful work and a classic historical series. As always meticulous free packing and shipping, a charity donation and I utilize the "Best Offer" format to consider all fair knowledgeable buyer offers. Arthur
