Yoshida, Toshi (1911 – 1995), “Morning Mist in East Africa”

Notes: Pencil signed and numbered by the artist. Properly stored away in a folio and never displayed or handled. "The African period culminated in the set, a series of 10 prints, each 11 x 24 and each portraying a certain aspect of one day in that multifaceted land. The whole series from One Day in East Africa No. 1 to the end is narrative, with each print also having its own story to tell. This print series and the storybooks are companion concepts, conceived about the same time." - Nature, Art, and Peace; pg. 72 One of Toshi's most popular East African images depicting elephants. A morning mist hoovers over a herd of elephants migrating in search of food and the next watering hole.
