写生四十八鷹画帖

嵩岳堂山人 画 · 1888 · 博聞社 · 47 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture album of birds and flowering plants, painted by Sugaku Dōjin and published by Hakubunsha in 1888 in Tokyo for artists and students of natural-history drawing. The pictures are monochrome woodblock-style prints of birds on branches, blossoms and buds, with clean outlines and dense ink masses for foliage, useful to designers for botanical linework and negative-space composition.
