Estimate £500-800

Original woodblock, not mounted laid down or framed, some even paper discolouration however the paper appears to have been a buff colour originally, perhaps very slightly grubby around the margin, two fox spots noted just above the book on the table, perhaps one behind the back of the woman in blue and a few in the bottom margin, signed in pencil ,titled and numbered, one very light diagonal crease in the margin at the lower right side but this does not go into the image, colours of image look good. Overall good condition.
