絵本通俗米国史
An 1889 Japanese illustrated popular history of the United States (絵本通俗米国史), compiled by Iwamoto Goichi and revised by Inamura Shirō, published by Nakazato Shirōzaemon as an ehon picture book. The woodblock-style prints show a bearded man with a sword amid clouds, a scene of figures in a forest, island natives with a distant castle, and a crowd in formal dress before a two-storey Western-style building, so a designer might take from them the mix of traditional Japanese line work and Western architecture and dress.
