This is an original 19th-century (c. 1861) Japanese Woodblock Print by Utagawa Yoshitora, known for its vivid depiction of Westerners enjoying a party, featuring an American flag and early hot air balloons. The print consists of two sheets (20 x 14 1/2 inches) from a triptych; however, it is incomplete as it lacks the right-most panel. Both exhibit a strong vertical center fold and show age-related toning, scattered foxing, and staining, particularly in the sky and on the white building. The edges show wear, thinning, and minor losses, especially at the corners. Although the colors may appear somewhat faded, the fascination captured in this print reflects a unique historical context. This piece is a significant collectible for those interested in both Japanese art and historical narratives.
