絵本忠義水滸伝 巻19-20

清水市次郎 編・和解 · 1884 · 清水市次郎 · 8 pictures

This is an 1884 Japanese woodblock-style picture book, volumes 19 and 20 of an illustrated Water Margin (Suikoden) adaptation, edited and rendered into Japanese by Shimizu Ichijirō and published by him, aimed at general readers. The pictures are bold black-and-white line prints with dense hatching and crowded figures; a designer might take their dynamic action poses, rough water and storm patterns, and the bold brush-like outlines for graphic compositions.
