“Yokohama Trade: Westerners Loading Cargo”

The image depicts a colorful woodblock print of a harbor scene. A large ship with a black hull and blue trim dominates the scene, featuring two smokestacks and four masts with rigging. The ship's deck is teeming with people, with a smaller boat alongside. The vessel flies a red and white striped flag, and another similar flag hangs from a pole on the ship's stern. Several individuals are engaged in loading cargo. In the background, the sky is light blue with white clouds. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy and active port scene. The title of the work is "Yokohama Trade: Westerners Loading Cargo" by Utagawa (Gountei) Sadahide.
