The first complete edition, which included bird-and-flower type subjects, was issued in 1701 and was illustrated from engraved woodblocks.  Later editions in the late 19th century were done by the lithographic process.  While the recently-acquired prints do not fit the format of the original edition which had fine black--line frames around the illustrations measuring about 5\" x 8\", the fact that they are woodblock prints would possibly put them in a middle period, mid-18th to mid-19th century.  More research needs to be done on this."},"invno":{"label":"Object number","value":"75.077.001"},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Color woodblock print"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":"75.077.001"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Dragonfly hovering over a branch with yellow flowers.
