Marked "(3)," this sheet carries a date of 1750, a time when Edo-period artists were turning woodblock printing into a popular art of city life. Ukiyo-e, or pictures of the "floating world," showed actors, courtesans and scenes from pleasure districts, and mid-eighteenth-century sheets were often printed in only a few colors, such as the rose-and-green benizuri-e style, before full multicolor printing arrived around 1765. The record names no artist or subject, and its "photo print" wording doesn't fit a woodblock print, so the date and origin are worth checking against the source before you rely on them.
