Miyako Japan Iwate Prefecture Edo Period 1683 Mallet Bird's Eye View Ancient & The Known World New York World's Fair 1939-40Miaco. (Old Prints, 17th Century Prints, Asia, Japan, Iwate Prefecture, Miyako, City View). Issued 1683, Paris, for A. M. Mallet. Charming 17th century copper engraved birds eye view with lovely hand color. A relatively early prospect view of this Asian location. The image has a near folk art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason. Mostly clean and well
