Birds

Japanese lady next to bird and flowers.Image is watercolor on paper; text is wood engraving with some hand-coloring. The Japanese woman is flanked by bird and floral border, with text banners top and bottom. No doubt an American artist sought to copy the popular Japanese woodcuts and watercolors of that period and he succeeds precisely because he departs from that style sufficiently - heavier brush strokes and harsher color contrasts - to make a striking poster.
