Description: You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1870s illustrated journal. It depicts a chaotic scene as Japanese firefighters battle a fire in a two story building. Spectators form crowds as the police with batons beat people with lanterns. Across the street is a business called the Cockeye Tailor. It is very large (double elephant folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below.The back of the print is blank. This means it was likely a “special supplement” to the journal, making it especially rare. The caption reads: A Fire in JapanThe print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
