Synopsis
Excerpt from On Collecting Japanese Colour-Prints; Being an Introduction to the Study and Collection of the Colour-Prints of Ukiyoye School of Japan: Illustrated by Examples From the Author's Collection
This volume is not put forth as in any sense a finished history of Japanese colour-prints and their artists, but is written mainly to assist the amateur who is starting a collection for the first time, or the person who, while not actually a collector, is sufficiently interested to read about the subject, yet finds the more exhaustive and advanced works thereon somewhat beyond him.
