Les maîtres de l'estampe japonaise ..
Louis Aubert's 1914 Paris survey of Japanese printmakers, published by A. Colin for French readers interested in the history of engraving. The four pictures are rotated reproductions of Japanese woodblock prints: a sailing boat with warriors on water, a crowded riverside or interior scene, a waterfall with a small figure among cliffs, and a close still life with a bundled object. A designer might take their flat colour areas, bold outlines and asymmetrical placement of figures against open space.
