尋常小学新定画帖 第5学年(教師用)

文部省 編 · 1910 · 東京書籍 · 39 pictures

A Japanese government-compiled teachers' drawing manual for fifth-year pupils in ordinary elementary schools, issued by the Ministry of Education in Tokyo in 1910. The pictures are plates of geometric pattern studies, pencil-line diagrams of tiled motifs, and shaded line drawings of solids such as a bullet-like cylinder and cone, with a faint sphere-and-plane exercise. A designer might take from them the method of building repeat patterns on a diagonal grid and the clean, schematic way of shading simple solids for teaching drawing.
