考古画譜 巻１
A Japanese ehon picture book from 1901, published by Yurindō, compiled by Kurokawa Harumura and Furukawa Miyuki with supplements by Kurokawa Mayori, drawing on older Japanese painting and portraiture for a readership of antiquarians and artists. Its pages are woodblock-printed black-and-white line drawings showing robed figures in landscape settings, a seated courtly figure, travelling monks with hats and staffs, and a seated Buddha with a halo. A designer could take from them the restrained linework, flat patterned textiles, and the sparse ground-line compositions typical of traditional Japanese ink-outline illustration.
