EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Street Scene, Kioto" takes us back in time to early 20th century Japan. The artist, Mortimer Ludington Menpes, beautifully captures the essence of this picturesque Asian city with his skillful use of color lithography. The scene depicts a bustling street in Kioto (also known as Kyoto), one of Japan's most enchanting cities. Every detail is meticulously portrayed, from the traditional Japanese architecture to the vibrant kimono-clad figures strolling along the road. The exotic charm of this place is palpable through Menpes' artistry. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for the book "Japan A Record in Colour" written by Mortimer Menpes and transcribed by Dorothy Menpes in 1901. It offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when Japan was still relatively unknown to the Western world. The watercolor technique used adds depth and richness to every stroke, enhancing our experience as we immerse ourselves in this street scene. The composition exudes both tranquility and liveliness simultaneously—a testament to Menpes' ability to capture moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to early 20th century Asia—where tradition meets modernity and where everyday life intertwines with cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even within bustling streetscapes, there lies beauty waiting to be discovered if only we take a moment to observe closely.
