花鳥画帖

古邨 画, 小林文七 編 · 1901 · 小林文七 · 11 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture album of flower-and-bird studies, drawn by Kōson and compiled by Kobayashi Bunshichi and published by Kobayashi Bunshichi in 1901 in Tokyo for a print-buying public. The plates are black-and-white woodblock-style reproductions of birds on blossoming branches, with sparse ground, open white space, and calligraphic brush-like line work a designer could borrow for simple compositions.
