The James Howard Kehler collection of Japanese color prints.
This is an auction catalogue from Anderson Galleries, New York, published in 1918, offering the James Howard Kehler collection of Japanese colour prints to private collectors and dealers. The plates show tall vertical pillar prints of women and attendants in kimono by Toyokuni, Shunsho, Koryusai, Toyoharu and Yeishi, plus two Hiroshige snow scenes and a night view. A designer might take from them the elongated hanging-scroll format, the flat patterned textiles, and the restrained palette of pale grounds with dark outlines.
