Subject:Assistance requested dating an Edo period woodblock map of Kyoto
Posted By: Chris Sun, Jun 12, 2022 IP: 2600:8801:fb00:a16:2

Hello Again,

Below are three photos of what I believe to be an Edo period map of Kyoto. I am humbly requesting the helpful members of the community here may be able to date it and share any other information that can help me better appreciate it.

Thank you once again to the wonderful members here for your time and assistance.

Kind Regards,
Chris
