Featuring selections from the permanent collection of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World documents the shift from delicately colored ukiyo-e of actors, courtesans, and scenic views to brightly colored modern images of Western architecture, technology (railroad trains, steam-powered ships, telegraph lines), Victorian fashion and custom, and modern military warfare.
