Description
A second Grand Canyon print from 1925 (the Showa-period date in the title is likely an institutional cataloging error, as the work was produced during Yoshida's American journey) offers a different viewpoint or time of day within the canyon, allowing comparison with his other canyon compositions. The canyon's scale demanded multiple vantage points and lighting conditions to adequately document, and Yoshida's characteristic methodical approach to important subjects produced several distinct canyon works from this journey.
