Scenic Spots of Jiangtian Temple on Jinshan, Built by Imperial Command

A polychrome woodblock print shows a dense hilltop temple complex rising from water, with a tall multistoried pagoda at left and red-roofed halls stacked along terraces. Small boats crowd the surrounding river, and an island with a pavilion floats above. A dragon-bordered cartouche with columns of calligraphy fills the top.

Look closer: A small seal in red ink sits beside the upper right column of the title text.
