Een geïllustreerde handleiding voor planten 1849 - 1854

This is the cover of an illustrated guide to plants, created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige I (1797 - 1858) between 1849 and 1854. The simple, yet elegant design features a pale green cover with a subtle texture, suggesting a natural theme. On the left side, a blue border encloses calligraphic writing in Japanese, which likely details the book's contents. This artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the breadth of Hiroshige's artistic interests beyond his famous landscapes.
