Freer, Charles Lang · 1906 · Shanghai : Kelley & Walsh · 2 pictures

This is a periodical volume, the Journal of the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, published in Shanghai in 1906 by Kelley & Walsh and edited by Charles Lang Freer for scholars of Chinese history and civilization. Its two plates are scientific line drawings in a plain report style: a bird in its nest, labelled as a description of the egg, and close, outlined views of a snake's head seen from several angles, with scales and head shields drawn in clean black lines a designer could use for diagrammatic or natural-history imagery.
