Aertbeeyinge tot Jedo / Tremblement de Terre a Jedo dans la Chine

A truly apocalyptic print depicting an earthquake and erupting volcano in Japan (‘Jedo’). Panicking people in the foreground, a flood or mudslide to the right sweeping trees and buildings along with it, destroyed buildings and trees, dark brooding clouds and a fiery erupting volcano on the horizon, all these add up to make a truly terrifying scene. Most antique prints present an idealised vision of their subjects, but this view however, hides nothing in its portrayal of a natural disaster.

Very good condition. Good wide margins. The print is clean and crisp.
