Japanese Propaganda Illustrations Appraisal
Category: Historical Ephemera
Description
These are two historical illustrations, likely original propaganda pieces from Japan. The top illustration depicts an elderly man, possibly a sage or religious figure, pointing. The bottom illustration shows the same elderly man sitting and conversing with a person in Western attire. The style is illustrative and appears to be colored in a simple palette. The phrase 'Original Propaganda Japan' is noted as additional context.
Appraisal Report
These appear to be original Japanese propaganda illustrations. The style suggests a historical period, and given the nature of propaganda art, their value is often in their scarcity and historical significance. The condition is a factor, but assuming they are in reasonable condition for their age, they have value to collectors of historical ephemera, particularly wartime propaganda. Without further information on the exact origin, date, and publication, a general range is provided based on comparable historical propaganda prints.
