七十二侯名花画帖 下
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book of flower studies, drawn by Koseki Shōseki and published by him in 1890 for botanical and artistic readers. Its pictures are crisp black-line botanical drawings of branches, blossoms, and leaves with minimal shading, showing how a designer can reduce plant forms to clean contour linework with strong negative space and calligraphic labels.
