Design History:19alt, a woodblock print of an alternate sketch of the same design subject was issued the month before the initial printing of 19 as a preview advertisement (see Related Designs below).
Edition I: The first print run of about two hundred copies of 19 was finished and the design was published in February 1930 in installment ten (of fifty). (The exact printing and publication dates are unknown since no copies of the installment ten delivery documents have yet been located.) Another full edition I print run of 19 was probably produced before mid 1933 when the series was completed and edition I printing ceased. Currently, all documented copies of 19 come from these edition I printings, and no copies from later edition reprintings are known.
All copies of 19 show a printing fault. Although delimited by the outline block printing, a small trapezoidal area of the golden leaf at lower left remained uninked due to a later carving error.
Copies in Public Collections:Bull-headed Shrike, Lanius bucephalus, 百舌(鳥), 鵙, もず, モズ, mozu, is a familiar native bird in Japan. The Japanese name is also used as a general name for any species of shrike.
