STEWART, BASIL. Japanese color prints and the subjects they illustrate. il *$20 Dodd 761
“Mr Stewart knows just what collectors of Japanese prints want and do not want. But they want a handbook of 300–odd pages, with reproductions of signatures, lists of important sets, chronological tables, brief biographical information; of handy format and popular style. And such is the book before us. There are a glossary, a chapter on ‘Forgeries and imitations,’ another on ‘Actor prints’ in general, and an excursus on the ‘Forty-seven rōnins’ in history and on the stage.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup
“It is no serious condemnation to say that ‘Japanese colour prints’ is not the book on Japanese colour prints for which we are all looking.”

“The ground covered is so vast that the treatment in certain cases inevitably seems somewhat cursory. One or two inaccuracies may be noted.”
