通俗絵本三国志 第6編

1893 · 有則軒 · 10 pictures

An 1893 Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published by Yusokuken, the sixth volume of a popular retelling of the Three Kingdoms romance for a general readership. The pages are woodblock-style line prints of warriors in full figure and interior scenes with seated men, tea tables and objects, with framed Chinese-character captions and decorative borders. A designer could take the bold, economical black linework, the framed vertical caption panels, and the patterned border ornaments as models for graphic layout.
