This is Ôhashi atake no yûdachi (大橋あたけの夕立). Different museums translate the title differently, but it's Ôhashi Bridge, not Shin-Ohashi, and Atake, not Ataker. Nothing ends in "r" in Japanese. This print is one of a series of 100 Famous Places in Edo (名所江戸百景, Meisho Edo hyakkei) done by Hiroshige. The series title can be seen in the red cartouche at the top right, with the title of this print in the yellow cartouche next to it, and the artist's signature at bottom left.

Unfortunately my eyesight precludes stereo view. But I do recall my Bro (RIP) telling me a ballistics story about these ironclad monitors. One side or the other invented such thick armour they were ball shot proof. However, the other side (from a fort at a higher elevation) poured so much shot on the thing (which couldn't move quickly) that the extra weight caused her to list and sink. I cannot find the references now though - who is good at detective work?
