1940 Paul Jacoulet Flowers South Seas /350 Japanese Woodblock Print RARE! L@@K

South Seas by Paul Jacoulet. Size: 14 -1/2 x 18 1/2 (Full margins). This print is so rare that fewer than half of the impressions are thought to have survived, and most in faded condition. Despite his considerable efforts in botanical and entomological studies, Jacoulet never had interest in scenes that didn’t contain human subjects. Nevertheless, this print, and the study of Cactus achieved real popularity, which Jacoulet cut off by sealing the blocks with steel bands and never reprinting.
