Lately Google Lens has been spot on and accurate for finding out what something is- and what its worth. I’m using it constantly when searching my local online auction, craigslist or when I’m listing Posters, art prints (think artist signatures). . It is so easy to right click on the image , choose “search image with Google” from there results can include active ebay listings , worthpoint values, etc. etc. If you find ‘no visual matches’ you may have treasure… anyone else using this tool and loving it?

Installed it today, and using it to translate some Japanese text on an old faded picture label. Starting to get plausible results, but I’m going to have to do a bit of cleaning up on the image to get further.
I took a photo of my car, and it correctly identified it as ‘lemon’.

Hmm…
An old Japanese woodblock print, depicting a man smoking and a woman with a shamisen (musical instrument). Framed by an Edinburgh print seller, who ceased trading in the 1930s. On the back a label printed by them in Japanese, English and French. Unfortunately the English and French sections have been rubbed away, probably deliberately.
The Japanese says, according to Google Lens (paraphrased) “I don’t know the details, but the picture is of a beautiful girl. Coloured ground, gold dust, book paper, handwriting stamp.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been making a lot of people who are in the middle of the day, and I’m going to have a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit. The guards who are well known for their optimistic optimism. A great amount of human beauty. This is the power of things in the company.”
I don’t know, is this Google Lens developing consciousness?

The line at the top (I don’t know the details) is in large clear characters, so I reckon it actually says that. Someone in 1920s Edinburgh was able to typeset Kanji and Hiragana, which is kind of amazing!

I used the Lens on the image; it produced a match to an Alamy stock photo of a 17th century Japanese scroll painting. So it’s a woodblock print after this old painting, complete with the seal marks. Unfortunately the company that uploaded the stock image didn’t provide any details. Looks like the text on the back of the frame is describing the original painting, about which the writer didn’t know anything, so they just blathered on and on about stuff.
Well done Google Lens!

I’ve been using both the google and bing image searches extensively on everything from Christmas ornaments to toy cars and vintage glass. They have been extremely helpful. I am often amazed at what they can find. I use both because they often find different sources for the same item.

I find Google lens spotty for what I sell, old stuff. Here is a great site that I use nearly everyday for research. No affiliation. Check it out, https://avaluer.net/price_guide Cheers!
