Charles William Bartlett (England, 1860-1940) - Lot 93
Charles William Bartlett (England, 1860-1940) Print, oban yoko-e, Kyoto. 1916. Signed in the lower left margin Charles W. Barlett and artist's stamp CWB. Watanabe Shōzaburō publisher and stamp. (Small holes, restored corner). Dim. 24.9 x 37.3 cm Charles W. Barlett left England with his wife in 1913 to travel and fulfill his vocation as an artist. On their arrival in Japan in 1915, Barlett met the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo through the artist Fritz Capelari. The publisher published twenty-one of Barlett's prints from 1921 onwards, some taken from his travels, others inspired by views of Hiroshige. It is to the latter category that this print seems to belong, evoking the famous views of the Nihonbashi from the Tokaido series.
