Shampooing Japan Man Washing Woman 1870 antique wood engraved print

Shampooing in Japan

Issued, May 14, 1870 by Every Saturday: An Illustrated Journal of Choice Reading

Fine original antique wood engraving. Printed in the mid 19th century, on quality paper which retains its inherent structural flexibility and soundness.

In Good+ to near VG or better condition, overall very clean, paper is lightly uniformly age toned as typical with some faint scattered age spotting or small minor soiling, but the image remains entirely presentable and attractive [note: we grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws]. Text on verso as issued.

The printed area remains visually pleasing, a nice impression of an interesting image.

Any minor defects along the sheet edges and in the margins may be seen in the photo.

Every Saturday was a popular news periodicals of its day and was profusely illustrated with charming and well executed wood engraved images created exclusively for it. These images now appear quaint and delightfully dated to our eye, with a somewhat folk art appeal to them. Every Saturday employed many talented artists and many of their images are worthy of framing for display.

Sheet measures c. 14 5/8" W x 10 5/8" H.
