The artist is Adachi Ginko. There is a copy in the Waseda Theater Museum, but that doesn't help me tell you more. The title is 大日本史略図会 十九. Google translate gives: Dainippon History Chart 19. Perhaps I. Nagy can help us out.

Cheers,
Stan

Your just plain Awesome! I have never had anyone else except for you Translate Chinese & Japanese including Seals on the Asian Forum Site or any other Site I have used! Truly a Talent which I am sure came by Hard Work and Schooling. Hope you are doing well on the Financial end because there are some that would charge a pretty penny for this service if they had half the Talent! Must be a Labor of Love ... Thank You Once Again I. Nagy! Gary K
