日清戦争写真画譜

武信由太郎, 村松恒一郎 著 · 1894 · 青木嵩山堂 · 10 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese photographic record of the First Sino-Japanese War, published in 1894 by Aoki Sūzandō and written by Takenobu Yoshitarō and Murematsu Kōichirō. Its oval halftone portraits show military officers in uniform with medals, and a designer might draw on their oval framing, coarse halftone texture and formal officer poses as a period reference for Japanese military documentation.
