Description from the seller
t Hof van den Dayro te Miako –Des Schlos des dairo zu Miaco (1670)
Very rare 17th century hand colored copper engraving showing a detailed view of the Imperial Palace in the former Japanese capital of Kyoto (formerly referred to as Miako or Miaco). The term 'Dayro' (or Dairo) was used by Europeans in the 17th century as a title for the Emperor of Japan.
Location: The current Kyoto Gosho (Imperial Palace of Kyoto), located in the city center.
This engraving was published in Arnold Montanus' influential early account of the 17th Century Dutch embassies to Japan, first published in Amsterdam in 1669 by Van Meurs.
This edition of the engraving is taken from the first German edition of 1670, titled: ´ Ambassades Mémorables de la Compagnie des Indes Orientales des Provinces Unies, vers les Empereurs du Japon….´
Good-very good condition. Some minor stains and small repairs in the margins. Wide margins, central fold as published. Clear print.
