A Japanese collection ...
A Japanese collection is an 1898 London art book by Michael Tomkinson, published by G. Allen, presenting privately owned Japanese decorative objects as photographic plates for collectors and art lovers. The sepia photographs show a carved-bird figure, a decorated dish, and boxes and bowls with floral and stylised motifs, lit against plain grounds, offering a designer studio-style reference for Japanese ornament, lacquer-like surfaces, and spare object display.
