閣竜世界博覧会美術品画譜 第4集

久保田米僊 画 · 1894 · 大倉書店 · 21 pictures

A Japanese illustrated book of 1894 published by Okura Shoten, with pictures by Kubota Beisen, documenting objects from the Chicago world exposition's art displays for Japanese readers. The pictures are fine black-line woodblock-style drawings of instruments and vessels, with some shaded areas, and a designer might take their clear outline drawing of ornate forms and the spare Japanese labelling as models for product or ornament sketches.
