You see a bright, busy print of warriors fighting in a forest—swords flashing, horses rearing, banners fluttering. This isn’t just a battle scene. It’s a single sheet from a long story, *Outlaws of the Marsh*, printed in color to hang on a wall. Most prints back then were for books, but this one was made to sell alone, like a poster. Look up *Qing dynasty (1644–1911)* to see more of these bold, crowded scenes.
