絵本日清韓戦争記

牧金之助 編 · 1894 · 金寿堂 · 6 pictures

An 1894 Japanese woodblock-printed picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Kinjudō, recounting the Sino-Japanese War for a popular readership. The pictures are bold black-and-white line prints with dense smoke clouds, dark silhouetted armies, and mounted samurai-style officers in action, with captions in vertical Japanese columns that a designer might borrow for strong graphic contrast and dramatic composition.
