About the artwork
"Morning Glories (Asagao)" (1909-1910) is a work by Kamisaka Sekka. 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.
