Introductory essay by Suzannah Yip on Adolphe Stocklet, The Collector and His Collection, " this collection is particularly rich in 17th and 18th century ukiyo-e prints, of which there are an unprecedented number of rare and/or unrecorded impressions. It also has a marked emphasis in the category of figural prints of actors (yakusha-e) and beauties (bijin-ga). There are also rare and stunning examples of uki-e (western perspective prints) and a seperate section of 50 surimono (printed matter)".
