東京ハリストス復活大聖堂の記念画帖

水島行楊 編 · 1905 · 正教本会編輯所 · 63 pictures

A Japanese-language commemorative album of the Tokyo Orthodox Resurrection Cathedral, compiled by Mizushima Kōyō and published by the Orthodox Church press in 1905, likely for the cathedral's congregation and supporters. Its pictures are halftone-screened reproductions of icon-style paintings in arched and bordered frames: saints in ornate robes holding crosses and books, a crowded scene of figures around a central radiant figure, and a bearded church figure with a scroll, with the framing patterns suggesting Byzantine-derived ornament a designer could borrow for borders.
