[絵本] 〔７〕大石一代記初編下

大西庄之助編 · 1885 · 大西庄之助 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ōnishi Shōnosuke and published in 1885, illustrating the life of the samurai Ōishi in woodblock-printed pages with kana text. The pictures show kimono-clad figures in interiors and a fight scene, framed by vertical columns of calligraphic text, and a designer could take from them the bold black-line graphic structure and the layout of image panels beside text columns.
