DescriptionShowing selected images from the 1868 series of single-sheet prints Selection of One Hundred Warriors (on the opposite wall) this illustrated book reduces the designs into a smaller format with simpler compositions and fewer colors. The publication of the book was almost certainly prompted by the success of the print series and offered a cheaper alternative for readers with an interest in historical and martial figures.Label TextShowing selected images from the 1868 series of single-sheet prints Selection of One Hundred Warriors (on the opposite wall) this illustrated book reduces the designs into a smaller format with simpler compositions and fewer colors.
