[絵本] 〔8〕 朝鮮変動記 第2号上

宮田伊助 編 · 1882 · 宮田伊助 · 19 pictures

An 1882 Japanese ehon picture book, the second issue of the Chōsen Hendōki, compiled and published by Miyata Isuke, printed in woodblock with Japanese text running alongside the scenes. The pictures show swordsmen, horsemen and soldiers in dynamic close combat, with dense calligraphic captions and simple hatched backgrounds that a designer might use for bold, energetic line work and vertical text layouts.
