滑稽絵本全集 下巻

古谷知新 編 · 1919 · 文芸書院 · 293 pictures

This is a Japanese comic picture book (ehon) compiled by Furuya Tomoshin and published in Tokyo by Bungeisho-in in 1919, a second volume of collected humorous prints. Its pictures are loose black-line drawings of figures in motion, with calligraphic captions in the margins and little shading, so a designer could borrow its gestural economy, simple figure silhouettes, and the way text and image share the page.
