Description
1881. JAPANESE ART. Artist's Manuals. A collection of 18 titles in 44 volumes. Various sizes, publisher's wrappers. Japan: Various publishers, 1881-1915. A remarkable collection of early Japanese manuals used for the instruction of painting, including some of the earliest examples of the genre. In the 1850s the Japanese government had established a school to study Western art and culture, and presumably these manuals are an outgrowth of that. Two of the volumes of Mohitsu shu gacho have some of the plates coloured in by hand, and the set of Koto shugaku mohitsa tehon joseiyo is in very poor condition. Otherwise, the collection is in a remarkable state of preservation. These little instructional booklets would seem to have not survived, with only two of the titles being listed on OCLC. Shogaku nihonga soho, copies of which are at Penn State and Princeton and Mohitsuga tehon, copies of which are at UCLA, LC, Field Museum, Harvard and Cleveland Public. A complete list of the collection is available upon request.

Description
[n.p., London?: n.d., ca. 1840?.] No date or edition specified. The present work may have been derived from a book titled The Edinburgh Alphabet & The Progress of Industry (M.J. Godwin, ca. 1810). The illustrations in The Edinburgh Alphabet, four of which are reproduced in a January 1898 Strand Magazine article describing the book, appear to be versions of the illustrations in the present item drawn by a different hand but with the same subjects and basic design. Therefore, the present item seems to be a version of The Edinburgh Alphabet & The Progress of Industry that excludes the alphabet component and, instead, has slightly edited verse and altered illustrations. Similarly, a separate edition of The Edinburgh Alphabet was published under just that title, without "The Progress of Industry" as a componen. Publisher's printed stiff paper wrappers with title on front cover and publisher's ad on back cover. . Octavo. With 8 hand-colored engravings Rubbing to wrappers and a faint pink stain, possibly ink or paint, on front cover. Two ink signatures on inside of wrappers, one dated 1841 and one dated 1881. Some light foxing to edges and a bit of toning to margins, but overall a very good, clean, and bright copy of a rare item. OCLC lists one copy of the present item (at the University of Florida). No copies on Jisc (formerly called COPAC).
