新撰画譜教育博物標本大集

綱嶋亀吉 画 · 1908 · 嶋鮮堂 · 6 pictures

A Japanese illustrated natural history specimen book, published in 1908 by Shimasendō and illustrated by Tsunashima Kamekichi, produced for teaching and collecting, as its title 'Education Museum Specimen Collection' suggests. Its pages are arranged as dense grids of plants, fruits, insects and sea creatures, each drawn in fine ink line with small Japanese labels, giving a designer a clear model for systematic specimen plates, botanical charts and catalogue layouts.
