Uploading first draft of "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō as Potted Landscapes" article

This page provides documentary support for the existing WP article Bonkei, which has been poorly served in the "references" department since I first posted to it around 2010. Another editor alerted me that this trove of contemporary bonkei prints was available under CC, and I spent some COVID-avoiding nights prepping the 50-odd images for submission to WikiMedia. They stayed in my User space until I found additional corroboration and felt that the pictures and the history of the work had sufficient content, reliability, and innate interest to be proposed as a WP page.

At this point, I must pursue other research and writing tasks. I look forward to returning with more supported content.

Naming/numbering the images in the collection

Page numbers in general, and "Station of the Tokaido" numbers and names in particular, are not present in the original books. In the context of the original sources, they may seem less than critical. We don't assign unique codes to the paintings of the Louvre to simplify references from other documents, for example.

But the time-consuming task of finding images in this work to match their exact counterparts in the original Fifty-Three Stations made it seem convenient, if not attractive, (i) to assign a unique number to each print, (ii) to indicate the exact order in which these prints were originally bound, and (iii) to identify whether a particular image appeared in the first or the second volume of "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō as Potted Landscapes". In the scheme used in these galleries, and skipping the pages of text, every bonkei image has a consecutive integer number (print order) and a letter signifying the volume in which it appears ("A" for volume 1, "B" for volume 2). If there's a widely-accepted WP standard covering this sort of occasion, I would welcome the additional knowledge.
