The Language of Manga_August's Wallism

The image of the left hand page was found in a Tokyo subway station.
It was an illuminated billboard for an advertising campaign and there were about 10 different billboards in total in the series.
The images were 19th century inspired Japanese based imagery but evoked a sense of contemporary Manga drawings for me.

The image on the right hand page is the current ‘Wallism’ of the Lord Gladstone in Chippendale, inner Sydney.
