This 1910 catalogue from the Paris Musée des arts décoratifs reproduces Japanese colour prints by Harunobu, Koryūsai and Shunshō, lent by private collectors for a January exhibition and published by the Longuet photo-mechanical workshops. Its pictures are grey photographic reproductions of ukiyo-e scenes of elegant women, theatre actors and courtly interiors, with cropped panels and handwritten inscriptions showing how the prints were composed. A designer might take their figure poses, sweeping kimono folds and placement of text panels and patterned screens as compositional models.
