This record describes a Japanese ukiyo-e print, dated 1750, though its title also calls it an antique photo print, which doesn't fit a woodblock image. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," were made by carving designs into wood blocks and printing them on paper, with subjects that included actors, courtesans, city life, and landscapes. Full-color prints only became common around 1765, so an 1750 date would point to an early black-and-blue or hand-colored example, and that date is worth verifying before you rely on it.
