『上野第三回内国勧業博覧会御幸之図』|Visit of the Empress to the Third National Industrial Promotional Exhibition at Ueno Park (Ueno dai sankai naikoku kangyō hakuran kai gyokō no zu) — Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu

The National Industrial Promotional Exhibitions were initially planned as preparatory steps before holding an international exposition in Japan. The Third Exhibition (April 1, 1890–July 31, 1890) publicized high-profile visits made by the imperial family to the exhibition halls before the opening, and a print such as this would have helped promote the various future events.
