Kyoto Japan Landscape & City View Farms 1719 Mallet engraved print

Miaco.

(Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Asia, Japan, Kyoto, Landscape View, City View, Farms).

Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 18th century copper engraved birds-eye view of this Japanese city with lovely hand color.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina.

Sheet measures c. 7 3/4" H x 5 3/8" W.

Printed area measures c. 5 3/4" H x 4 1/8" W.
