This remarkable original Edo-period woodblock print from 1862 by the esteemed artist Taguchi Yoshimori features a captivating scene titled 'Visits of Condolence to a Sick Dog by Friends and Relatives.' Measuring 9 3/4 x 14 inches, this print exhibits significant and uneven fading, with many original colors lost, primarily leaving the blue and black/grey keyblock lines. The paper has toned over time, showing signs of foxing and small stains, particularly in the upper text area. Please note that this piece has been trimmed, likely resulting in the loss of original margins, along with general signs of handling, including light creasing. Despite its flaws, the charm of this 'giga' (humorous picture) of anthropomorphic animals remains intact. Signed 'Yoshimori ga' (芳盛 画) and featuring a publisher's seal (Kinseidō) and a censor's seal, this print is authentic and dates back to approximately 1862.
