The record gives this sheet a date of 1750 and a "(4)" in its title, which may mark it as one of a numbered group, though the record does not say what the set depicts. Its date falls early in the ukiyo-e tradition, before the full-color woodblock printing that became common around 1765, so prints of this period were typically made with fewer colors or hand-applied tints. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," portrayed theater actors, courtesans, city life, and landscapes for a townspeople audience in Edo, now Tokyo. The catalog's "photo print" label is a modern cataloging term, since the image is a woodblock print, not a photograph.
