About the Item

Antique Japanese Landscape Engraving of Mount Fuji: Serene River View This remarkable 19th-century engraving captures a tranquil view of Mount Fuji, Japan's most iconic peak, rising above a peaceful river framed by lush trees and sailboats. Published by Sampson Low & Co., this finely detailed print is a testament to the era's cross-cultural fascination with Japanese landscapes and the timeless allure of Fuji’s symmetrical grandeur. Expertly etched by G. A. Audsley, the scene masterfully portrays the contrast between the powerful mountain, softly veiled in mist and clouds, and the calm, reflective water of the river below. Fine horizontal lines create a shimmering texture that enhances the quiet atmosphere of the landscape, drawing the viewer’s eye naturally from the distant peak to the details of the river’s banks and boats. Mount Fuji has been a recurring motif in Japanese art for centuries, revered as a symbol of beauty, strength, and spiritual significance. This engraving not only captures the mountain's natural splendor but also provides a window into how Japanese landscapes were interpreted and celebrated in European art circles during the 19th century. The precision of the linework and the sense of depth in the composition make this a captivating piece for any collector of antique prints, Japanese art, or cultural artifacts. Condition Report: The print is in good condition, with only slight toning typical of its age. No significant tears or marks are present, and the fine linework and shading remain crisp and clear throughout the sheet. A crease top left but well outside the image. Framing Tips: Enhance the serene beauty of this piece by framing it in a dark wood or black frame with a white or cream mat. The neutral matting will draw attention to the fine lines and tranquil composition, while a dark frame will echo the deep tones in the etching, creating an elegant presentation.
