A landscape by Chao Meng-fu in the British Museum
A 1905 Leiden and Brill publication by Laurence Binyon, a scholar writing for readers of Chinese painting and museum collections, reproducing one landscape by Zhao Mengfu held in the British Museum. The single plate is printed sideways on the page, showing a misty hillside scene with rocky outcrops, trees, and small buildings near water, rendered in soft grey ink wash that a designer could study for tonal layering and sparse composition.
