Note: The dating of these prints was taken from the catalogue of the Rijksmuseum but is likely incorrect. Matthi Forrer (2017) has Hiroshige publishing his first group of prints in 1818 and his first two sets of landscape prints in 1825. Thanks to Norman Kreutter for pointing this out and directing me towards the print of Autumn Moon at Ishiyama.
