Subject:Asian or Persian Print?
Posted By: Dave B Tue, Mar 04, 2014 IP: 68.84.176.148 Would anyone know what type of print this is? It appears to be a woodblock on parchment paper. There is some Asian script that is not really readable. I could try and post a positive of the print if that would be helpful. |
