Surimono from Osaka and Edo: The Pumpelly Album
10:00AM to 5:00PM • RISD MUSEUM • 224 BENEFIT ST., PROVIDENCE
Geologist, explorer, and archaeologist Raphael Pumpelly received two albums of privately commissioned Japanese prints (surimono) on leaving Japan in late 1862. Shipped back to the United States, they were some of the earliest Japanese prints to enter this country. In 1956, the contents of one album were generously gifted to the Museum by George Pierce Metcalf, who was married to Pauline Pumpelly Cabot, Pumpelly’s maternal granddaughter. The exhibition will feature a selection of rare and beautiful works from this extraordinary album, the only known collection of surimono predominantly from Osaka.
