Hiroshige (1797-1858) Extremely Rare Full Collection Of The 53 Stations Of The Tokaido Japan

Extraordinary and rare series of 55 prints depicting the 53 stations of the TOKAIDO road by Utagawa Hiroshige (born in Edoc in 1797, died October 12, 1858 in Edoc).
This complete series has in fact 55 prints, in addition to the 53 prints representing the stations of this road, there are 2 additional prints: one for the starting point: the bridge of Nihonbashi (bridge of Japan to Edo), and the one of arrival: a view of Keishi (the capital), for Kyoto.
OBAN format, TATE-E orientation (portrait).
We can date them to the 1855 years, perhaps a maximum of ten more years, or at the very beginning of the Meïji era.
A similar version is kept at the British Museum.
To report:
- blue cover made of fine paper in working condition which has in fact played its role of protecting prints very well.
- they are connected, the two middle prints have slight wrinkles and tears.
- a few worms and light tasks. 
As you can see from the photos, the colors are lively and incredibly fresh.
They are presented back to back, connected but not glued. 
I chose not to separate them and sell them individually, as this complete document is exceptional.
I could only publish a small part of the photos of the prints, I remain at your disposal for any additional photos.
 
Dimensions : 37 x 25 cm

Photos are taken in natural light.
Neat packaging.
Shipping costs borne by the buyer.
