Since the guy seems to be able to only respond with one-line replies, I wouldn’t expect a particularly useful answer; but, I searched a bit and found this:

Traditional Art@lemmy.world•Utagawa Hiroshige: Asakusa Ricefields and Torinomachi Festival (1857)English
1·6 days agoI understand. Being a layman I didn’t really pay attention to that, as I said, so I’m thankful for the correction.
According to LoC, it is a part of their collection “Visual materials from Donald D. Walker collection”. Although I’m not sure if that’s sufficiently precise - hopefully they have more info on the provenance elsewhere (I would expect the LoC to be pretty on point with that sort of stuff…).

1·6 days agoI’m not sure why you say the wikimedia rendition is better.
The scan is of far higher resolution, and the colours are more vibrant - I assume, reflecting the original colours, rather than the more washed-out version I posted originally.
So I assume(d), perhaps mistakenly. The source on Wikimedia Commons isn’t unknown, it is from the Library of Congress, as stated in the “Source” field. However, below the LoC link, the page says it’s a “restoration” by a Commons editor, god knows according to which standards. The original LoC page has a more washed-out version, colours seemingly the same as the Brooklyn Museum version, but also of a far better resolution which was the basis for the Commons version (5615 x 8400 pixels). It’s at https://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/jpd.02940
You’re also right that the colours are a bit misaligned here and there in the LoC/Commons version, even the cat is coloured a bit differently. I paid no attention to that.

F-Droid@lemmy.ml•What f-droid file manager allows for several pdf files to be used simultaneously?

5·8 days agoJust checked, there was a better scan at Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hiroshige,_Asakusa_ricefields_and_torinomachi_festival,_1857.jpg

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Too many communities require news articlesEnglish
5·9 days agoHad that one in mind myself. I wanted to post a thread when Xcancel/Nitter shut down for good (it was initially announced they would close it due to being sued by Twitter, then they reopened for a few days, and closed again). There was no news articles about it at the time, so there was nothing to link to, even though many users would find it worth knowing about.
In general I suspect that community is undermoderated.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Evidence that lemmy.ml weaponizes rule 1 to censor criticism of russia and chinaEnglish
214·9 days agoThat’s nothing unusual for a user who excused pedophilia and posted a fascist dogwhistle.


“Missing grammar” is usually not an issue unless you’re reading self-published, unedited books.
