張子祥胡公寿両先生画譜

長尾無墨 摸集 · 1881 · 高木和助 · 23 pictures

A Meiji-period Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1881, published by Takagi Wasuke and compiled by Nagao Bokuku from the painting manuals of Chinese-style painters Zhang Zixiang and Hu Gongshou. Its pictures are woodblock-printed reproductions of ink brush paintings of plants, branches, and flowers, with the artists' inscriptions and seals beside them. A designer might take from them the economical brush line, dry-brush texture, and loose ink washes of East Asian botanical painting.
