Catalogued with a date of 1750, this piece belongs to the Edo period, when woodblock printing flourished in cities such as Edo (now Tokyo) and Kyoto. Prints from this era were usually made by carving an image into wooden blocks and inking each one by hand, and many showed actors, courtesans, and scenes of everyday urban life. The record is brief, and its title calls the object a vintage photo print, so the medium and exact date may be approximate.
