国民画帖 第14巻

大東絵画協会 著 · 1901 · 山海堂 · 14 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1901 published by Sankaidō, compiled by the Daitō Painting Association for a general readership learning to draw. The four pictures are simple black-and-white botanical and bird studies: a bird on a plum branch, a butterfly on a flowering stalk, narcissus, and clustered blossoms. Their clean outlines and hatched shading suggest how to build a motif from a few strokes.
