Japanese prints
Japanese Prints by Charles Hovey Pepper, published in Boston by Walter Kimball and Company in 1905, is a survey of Japanese colour woodblock prints written for collectors and general readers. The pictures are reproduced on cream mounts: a misty landscape of a riverbank with a dark boat and a figure in a cloth-covered sun hat is shown beside a standing woman in a blue-black robe holding a round fan under a blossoming branch, with tall mountains behind her, suggesting a designer's study of flat tonal areas, outlined figures and restrained palette.
