[絵本] 〔４〕 徳川十五代記略記 初編

石川和助 編 · 1880 · 石川和助 · 9 pictures

An 1880 Japanese illustrated book (ehon) published by Ishikawa Wasuke, a brief record of the fifteen Tokugawa shoguns, printed in woodblock-style black line for a general readership. The pictures show seated court and samurai figures in interiors with framed Japanese captions, drawn in clean bold outlines that a designer could borrow for graphic line work and captioned panel layouts.
