Looks like a warship from the beginning of the twentieth century. Quality paper even though a lot of damage.
Can someone identify the author and purpose?
Thx

Hi Dean-san,
It's a Battleship Yashima
Japanese battleship Yashima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Probably for educational purpose, it got the specs printed at the bottom.
There might be few different ships printed like that.

明治卅四年十月廿八日
Meiji sanjuyon-nen ju-gatsu nijuyoh-ka
28 October 1901
印刷全卅一日発行
Insatsu zen sanjuichi-nichi kōgyō
Printed all on 31st issued
東京市、神田区
Tokyo-shi, Kanda-ku
Tokyo City, Kanda Ward
The name of the printer and/or artist is cut off on the left margin. The bottom margin gives the ship's specifications such as Name; Type; Horsepower; Length; etc.
I'm not 100% certain of some of my readings such as "insatsu zen" ... I think that is the 全 kanji for "all", but don't know if it is "zen", "sube~" or "mata~" pronunciation ...

Thank you Guy-san for the translations!
So this was printed even before the Russo-Japanese War.
Interesting indeed.

Taka
