A Notebook of Mon
Two pages from a book titled "A Notebook of Mon" by an unknown artist, showing various geometric and floral designs. The pages are yellowed and have a worn appearance with dark brown lines around the edges. Each page contains a grid of 4 by 2 squares, making 8 squares per page. The squares contain line drawings of various shapes, including hearts, flowers, spirals, hexagons, cubes, and diamonds. Some of the shapes are symmetrical, while others are not. The text is written in a non-Latin script, likely Chinese characters, and is placed to the side of and below the drawings. The background of the image is white, with some shadows visible around the edges of the pages.
