1870s Original Japanese School Woodblock Print - Victorian Educational Scene - Antique Book Illustration - Cultural Study - 12 x 8.5 in
Fascinating Victorian-era print depicting traditional Japanese education from Illustrated Travels: A Record of Discovery, Geography, and Adventure, edited by H. W. Bates of the Royal Geographical Society and published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin between 1869-1875. This print is titled 'A Japanese School' and originates from this celebrated series featuring engravings from original drawings by renowned artists. Page measures 12 x 8.5 in.
The detailed scene shows students and teachers in traditional dress within an interior setting, capturing the essence of 19th-century Japanese educational practices. Minor text show-through appears in borders but doesn't affect the central image.
Great for collectors of educational history, Japanese culture enthusiasts, and Victorian travel documentation.
