The title marks this as the second in a numbered set, and it is catalogued as a Japanese ukiyo-e print dated 1750, which falls in the middle of the Edo period. Ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," were made by carving designs into woodblocks and printing them by hand, with subjects ranging from actors and courtesans to landscapes and city life. Because the record calls it a photo print, it is probably a later reproduction of an older woodblock design rather than an original from the 1750s. Mid-eighteenth-century prints were usually made with only a few colors, so the line work and paper are worth a close look.
