I have 10 different woodblocks in this collection and am interested in selling them. Any advise? More detailed photos are linked here.

Link :Hiroshige

Don't have permission to view photos. Are they originals or copies? What series are they from?

Cheers,
Stan

The are originals and from Modern Noted Views of Tokyo. I think I have fixed the viewing issue with google :)

The print is signed both by Hiroshige III (1842-94) and Kuniaki II (1835-88).
From the series 'Kaimei Tokyo meisho' (Modern noted views of Tokyo), published by Okura Magobe ca 1881.

Note also that the paper of your print was creped (compressed), a common practice and fashion in early Meiji times. Such print is called a 'chirimen-e' (crepe print).

Guy.

Apparently, I should have asked: Which Hiroshige? Your prints are by Hiroshige III and Kuniaki II and date from circa 1881. They have been creped.

I found no examples from your series of prints. But on artelino.com, Hiroshige III prints typically range from $50 to $150 with a few going higher. Your prints are in excellent condition and would probably be at the higher end of that range.

Cheers,
Stan
