Synopsis
Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of an Exceptionally Important Collection of Rare and Valuable Japanese Color Prints: Together With a Few Paintings of the Ukioye School
To many students, Japanese prints are among the most precious products of the aesthetic powers of the human spirit.
They contain certain perfections that exist nowhere else, either in actuality or in art. The delight of the amateur when he discovers one of the authentic masterpieces is something that nowords can measure. This collection, like any real collection, has been an absorbing passion to its owner. And it is hoped that it will now, as exhibited, interest many spectators who are not, by any possibility, prospective buyers. Their attendance at the exhibition is especially invited.
