絵本江戸土産 下

重長 画, 稀書複製会 編 · 1920 · 米山堂 · 15 pictures

A Japanese woodblock-style picture book, Ehon Edo Miyage volume two, drawn by Shigenaga and reproduced in 1920 by the Kisho Fukusei Kai for Yonezawadō, as a facsimile of Edo-period ehon. The pictures show Edo street scenes, shrines, pine-shaded gardens and travellers in crisp black outline with little shading, a clean economy of line a designer could borrow for minimal figure-and-landscape compositions.
