台湾写真画帖
A Japanese photographic album of Taiwan compiled by Ishikawa Kyokichi and published by him in 1903, aimed at a general audience of the Japanese colonial period. Its pictures are black-and-white photographs of Japanese soldiers and officials gathered on rugged mountain terrain, with dense bamboo-like undergrowth and misty ridgelines; a designer might take from them the drama of layered hills receding into haze and the stiff group compositions of uniformed men on an outdoor expedition.
