A lovely and rare 1917 portfolio for sale -- out of my range! -- by the Boston Book Company. I don't see any information about this designer.
NAKAGAWA Yoshinaga, designer. NAKAGAWA ZUANSHÛ. Nagoya, Fukada Zuan Kenkyûsho, Taishô 6 [1917]. Wonderful portfolio of lithographed designs in a Deco idiom. Reminiscent of the early work of Sugiura Hisui but with its own unique quirky sense of boldness and fun. Animal and vegetal themes for the most part. Very unusual. Complete as issued.
