Beauty in a Boat on Sumida River
Chōbunsai Eishi (Japanese, 1756–1829), c. 1801–4.
Using it on a cover
The print file prints up to 4.2 x 11.3 in at 300 ppi — fine for smaller trims or inset artwork, but too small to fill a 6 x 9 in cover at 300 ppi. Taller than a 6 x 9 cover: crop about 44% of the height.
About the work
The Sumida River was a popular refuge from the heat and humidity of the city during the summer. One can see the torii gate of Mimeguri Shrine just to the left of the woman's fan.
