皕鳥画譜 3冊
A Japanese ehon picture book of birds, 3 volumes, dated 1908, with no publisher recorded; the pictures show birds in profile, perched or standing, drawn in bold black silhouette and fine scaled or feathered line. A designer could take the strong figure-ground contrast of solid black bodies against white and the scalloped feather patterning as models for graphic bird motifs.
