About the artwork
Shimizu Seifū is the artist behind "Unai no tomo Pl. 118", dated 1913. Illustration, a short history: The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are often described as a golden age of book and magazine illustration. Printing methods such as woodcut, engraving, lithography, and photomechanical reproduction each shaped how illustrators worked.
