Chinese Woodblock Prints

Hello!

I have a folio of Chinese woodblock prints but can find no information at all (even though its clearly labelled on the cover). I was hoping someone here may be able to give me some more information on these pieces. There are more but I just included these few. Thank you!

You may already know this but you didn't give a date for the folio . . . The Tribune Subway Gallery may have been in business only from 1940 to 1961.

Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply. For some reason I thought I wrote mid-century (1950s) for its era but I based that off the 'Battle Hymn of China' reference which was produced 1944 which means its no older than that. I am quite familiar with Chinese art, but unfortunately I can find no real references to modern Chinese woodblock prints and unfortunately searching it leads me to Japanese woodblock prints every time. Thank you for the information though, I hadnt found that before.

I got a few hits with a search..... Mostly library holdings. Did find this through an image search and, of course when I followed the link, The image is no longer there. I am confident this is the same collection.

Thank you! This is exactly the information details I was looking for. I guess it came originally with an information sheet and I only have 8/11 of the prints. Thanks again for your help!

 

Here's a Catalog of Copyright Entries, 3rd Series 1950, with this publication listed - 1 Oct 1948.
