Hiroshige's 'Famous Places in Edo' (Mid-1830's - 1858)
The Prints
Many of the prints shown here were printed in multiple editions, at various
times: the exact history, relationship of various publication instances, etc.
is still being worked out. The dates shown on individual prints are therefore
generally the date of the individual print illustrated, not the complete (as
far as can be ascertained) publication history of that print.
Prints in all of the series covered here do not appear to have any numbers on
them; any number given here (e.g. the 'ID' field, which is a database ID) is
for local reference only.
To see a larger image of any print, please click on the thumbnail.
Among Famous Places in Edo - Mid-1830's
Characteristics: No title cartouche, title in ground
Publisher: Kansendō (Sen'ichi - Izumiya Ichibei)
There are apparently two fairly different editions of this series; in the
later edition, the upper cloud band has been removed, and the lower cloud
band has also been altered. See also
another re-printing,
but with an altered series title.

earlier series,
with an altered title cartouche, and minor changes in the image (e.g. re-cut

Famous Places in Edo - Ca. 1850's
Characteristics: Double cartouche (one square, one vertical) in right ground
Publisher: Not certain
Some sources give the publisher of the Yoshiwara print as Kinkyōdō
(Yamashō - Yamadaya Shōjirō). It (and the other print here) do
certainly follow the title and cartouche format of other Kinkyōdō
prints.

Famous Places in Edo - 1854/4-11
Characteristics: Double cartouche (one square, one vertical) in right ground
Publisher: Kinkyōdō (Yamashō - Yamadaya Shōjirō)
This is probably a continuation of the
series
of the same name from 1853/3-11, as it has the same publisher, and title
cartouche format. Note that no impressions are known with different censor
seals, so this probably is a later continuation, not a re-publication.

Famous Places in Edo - 1854/7I
Characteristics: Single vertical cartouche with rounded top and
inverse rounded bottom in right ground
Publishers: Yūeidō (Arisei - Aritaya Seiemon)
Sansendō (Yamajin - Yamashiroya Jinbei)
This series was apparently produced by two different publishers. For prints
from this series, impressions are known with the same censor seals, but with
differing publisher seals, so it is not absolutely clear which publisher was
the original (if it was not a joint production, such things being not unknown
in ukiyo-e, although it is thought to have been Aritaya Seiemon.
