[JAPANESE TEXTILE DESIGN] Group of four unpublished collections of Japanese late 19th and early 20th century Japanese textile swatches. Undated: likely 1890-1930s. Wrappers or cloth. The largest album 12 x 7 1/2 inches (30 x 19 cm). Some wear and soiling to covers. The largest of the albums contains approximately 205 3 1/2 x 4 inch swatches of very fine decorative silks, each identified with brush lettering, and this may be a swatch book for a garment-maker. A second album is in smaller format and has 99 smaller (and plainer) swatches. The two others contain small pieces of coarser fabrics, rather than full swatches: one with approximately 378, the other with approximately 129, and appear to be assemblages by textile collectors. C
