Posted By: Stan Fri, Aug 01, 2014 You have a print by Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858) titled "Nihonbashi Bridge in Snow (Nihonbashi setchû), from the series Famous Places in the Eastern Capital (Tôto meisho)" printed circa 1840-42. |

Posted By: nay murphy Fri, Aug 01, 2014 Many thanks for your kind and prompt response! I have penciled your information onto the back of the print so this question won't have to be asked again. I had attached a photo of a second, different piece but I don't think it has made it through the filters yet. |

Posted By: geo. Fri, Aug 01, 2014 Actually the artist is Hiroshige. That is, the Nihonbashi print. The other print I'm not at all familiar with. |
