玉洲習画帖 1

藤井玉洲 画 · 1906 · 松田庄助 · 14 pictures

A Japanese drawing manual titled 玉洲習画帖 1, illustrated by Fujii Gyokushū and published by Matsuda Shōsuke in 1906 as an ehon for students learning to draw. The pictures are crisp black-and-white botanical and object studies with bold solid masses and hatched tonal shading, showing how a few strong shapes can describe a plant or form, a useful reference for graphic designers working with simplified silhouette and line.
