This record describes a black-and-white image of a Japanese ukiyo-e design dated 1750, though its title calls it both a photo and a drawing, which is worth keeping in mind. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," refers to a popular Edo-period tradition of prints and paintings that depicted city life, actors, courtesans, and landscapes. Most of these works were made by carving images into woodblocks and printing them on paper, so a reproduction like this one preserves the bold outlines and flat areas of color that made the style recognizable. The record does not name an artist, so the picture's specific origin remains unconfirmed.
