'Tea House, Native City', C. 1924; framed woodblock print by Elizabeth Keith (1887-1956); frame: 47.5 cm x 58 cm image: 32 cm x 43 cm. Other Notes: Elizabeth Keith was born in Scotland and at age 28, traveled to Japan where she remained for nine years and produced watercolours and exhibited at small exhibitions when Watanabe, the acclaimed Shin Hanga publisher, saw her work and convinced Keith to try her hand at woodblock printing. Keith prints are both rare and expensive, as the number of printed copies was small at only 30 or 50 copies. Her works are in the collections of the British Museum, the Musee Guimet in Paris, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Honolulu Academy of Arts.
