鵞瓈皤児回島記 : 絵本 初編 小人国之部

斯維弗的 (スウヰフト) 著, 片山平三郎 訳, 九岐晰 記 · 1880 · 薔薇楼 · 26 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1880, the first volume of a Gulliver's Travels adaptation, published by Barosho and translated by Katayama Heizaburo from Swift's text. The engravings show Lilliputian scenes, and several pages are printed sideways, so a designer should rotate them before reading the composition.
