[清親ポンチ絵画帖]

小林清親筆 · 1880 · [小林鉄次郎] · 27 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese comic picture book (ponchi-e) drawn by Kobayashi Kiyochika and published in Tokyo in 1880 by Kobayashi Tetsujiro for a popular urban readership. The pages show caricatured townspeople in everyday situations, with crisp black line work, bold framing, and handwritten calligraphic banners that a designer could draw on for witty, economical editorial illustration.
