明四大家画譜
A 1924 Japanese picture book published by Hakubundō and compiled by Naitō Torajirō, reproducing paintings from the Four Great Masters of the Ming dynasty for collectors and students of Chinese painting. The pictures are black-and-white photographic reproductions of hanging scrolls and album leaves, showing dense ink landscapes with craggy mountains, twisted pines, waterfalls and small pavilions, where the tonal range from deep black masses to pale mist could guide a designer working with atmospheric, monochrome layouts.
