Catalogue of Chinese paintings ancient & modern by famous masters : the property of Mr. Liu Sung Fu

Ayscough, Florence Wheelock · 1915 · Shanghai : Oriental Press · 3 pictures

A 1915 Shanghai catalogue by Florence Wheelock Ayscough listing ancient and modern Chinese paintings owned by Liu Sung Fu, prepared for the exhibition of his collection in San Francisco. The plates are monochrome reproductions of ink landscapes and bird-and-animal studies, and a designer might take from them the economy of brushwork, sparse ground lines and the way a single willow or animal fills the page.
