絵本二島英雄記 巻1

平賀梅雪 著, 速水春暁斎 画 · 岡田茂兵衛 · 13 pictures

This is a Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) in woodblock print, written by Hiraga Baisetsu and illustrated by Hayami Shungyosai, published by Okada Mohei in Edo for a general reading public. Its pages are full-width double-spread scenes of warriors, horses and gardens, drawn in clean black outline with sparse hatching and open white space. A designer might borrow the economical line, the framed panels and the dynamic diagonals of mounted figures and fences.
