I offer you this Japanese engraving from 1753 depicting an ancient Chinese poetic work by Li Hanzhong (12th century) from the Song dynasty. This poetry positions its action in the previous Han dynasty.
China being timeless in art and being diffused in neighboring countries, we can designate the Japanese artist Ōoka Shunboku (1680-1763) as the author of this cover. Ōoka Shunboku would indeed draw its inspiration from older Japanese and Chinese works.
On laid paper: The sheet is 25.2 cm by 17.1 cm, the engraving alone is 20.7 cm by 15.9 cm.
Stunning.
