The heritage of Hiroshige; a glimpse at Japanese landscape art
A 1912 art book published in San Francisco by P. Elder, written by Dora Amsden and John Stewart Happer, surveying Japanese landscape printmaking and the influence of Ando Hiroshige on later artists. Its pictures are reproductions of Japanese woodblock prints and portraits: a long vertical bird-and-plum-blossom print, a seated portrait with calligraphic captions, and a riverside landscape framed by cherry blossoms, all showing how strong silhouette, flat tone and framing can organise a page.
