The Study on the Illustrated London News in the Comparative Method

在本学期的项目中，我们通过以下两种方法研究了《伦敦新闻画报》（Illustrated London News， ILN）。我们根据各自的兴趣阅读了《ILN》，并检索了国内外与之相关的其他资料。(1)MASAIE-MATUMURA（首席调查员）本学期三次访问英国，特别是伦敦、利物浦、曼彻斯特等地，并查阅了德川晚期、明治早期日本考察团的相关档案。KOJI-OZAKI（调查员）也去了伦敦。他在公共记录办公室阅读了19世纪当地政府委员会的文件。(3)SHINGO-AKIYAMA（研究者）访问中国寻找大谷党相关资料，这些资料曾多次在《朝日新闻》上报道，为日本明治考古的发展做出了贡献。我们制作了1842年至1851年ILN版画的数据库。

In this term of project we have studied the Illustrated London News (ILN) by the two methods as below.1.We have read ILN with each interest, and searched the other materials related to it at home and abroad.(1)MASAIE-MATUMURA (The head investigator) visited UK, particularly London, Liverpool, Manchester, and so on, three times in this term, and searched the archives in which the Japanese delegations in the late-Tokugawa and early-Meiji era were reported.(2)KOJI-OZAKI (the investigator) visited London, too. And he read the documents of the Local Government Board in the 19th century at the Public Record Office.(3)SHINGO-AKIYAMA (the investigator) visited China to look for the materials concerned with the Otani-Party, which were reported in ILN many times and had contributed to the development of the archaeology in Meiji Japan.2.We have made the data-bases of the engravings in ILN from 1842 to 1851.
