Could someone please tell me the English title of this book, one of a set of four, dated Bunka 11. Thanks.

'Ômi meisho zue' (Illustrated guide to famous places in Omi province.

A Google search turns up many hits on this book, though the only one I found with an authoritative-sounding English translation of the title was in the index of University of Chicago bibliography, which rendered it as "Illustrated description of notable places in Omi Province" (Omi meisho zue 近江名所圖會).

The characters in the second line, 江南之都, thus would appear to say "Omi Provincial Government" (Omi no Do).

Here's a link to the Sanford U. Library entry on the book in case you need any related Japanese phonetic transcriptions of info on this book.

Best regards,
