An auction catalogue issued in New York in 1925 by the Walpole Galleries, offering Japanese colour prints and Chinese and Tibetan paintings for public sale. The pictures are sheets reproduced sideways on the page: multi-panel Japanese prints of figures in kimono and rain scenes with umbrellas, plus two Tibetan-style monochrome ink figures of seated sages, useful for designers studying the layouts of triptychs and the stylised line of early woodblock figures.
