The colour-prints of Japan : an appreciation and history
A 1906 London study of Japanese colour prints by Edward Fairbrother Strange, published by A. Siegle for general readers interested in ukiyo-e and its history. The single picture shows a green-inked figure in a wide cloak and boots, drawn in bold outline with the faint ghost of a printed page behind it, suggesting how simplified contour and flat colour can carry a figure with few lines.
