Frontispiece of a novel, from

A frontispiece "from" — a truncated catalog entry indicating this is a literary frontispiece (kuchi-e) from a specific publication whose identity is not fully recorded. Hanko produced dozens of such frontispieces for the major literary magazines of the Meiji era, including Bungei Kurabu and Shin Shosetsu, and these works represent his most commercially significant output during his lifetime. Each frontispiece was typically a full-color woodblock print depicting the heroine or a key scene from the serialized novel or story it introduced.
