画本年代記
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book compiled by 大館利一 and published by 北村宋助 in 1879, apparently for general readers of illustrated chronicles. The only picture shows a blank page ruled into a grid of rectangular panels with faint scan damage, so the layout is the thing a designer might take from it: a dense, modular frame structure with irregular column breaks and one large empty panel at lower right.
