Catalogue of a collection of oriental porcelain and pottery
A museum catalogue of Asian porcelain and pottery compiled by Augustus Wollaston Franks for the Bethnal Green Museum in London, printed in 1879. Its plates show marks and seals, mostly Chinese and Japanese, drawn as line diagrams with figures numbered beneath each one. A designer could take from them a set of compact, hand-cut seal and mark forms suited to logos, monograms and stamped identities.
