The first picture shows the signature of Japanese woodblock print artist Utagawa Sadahide (1807 - 73) in the red cartouche. It was printed in the 3rd lunar month of a goat year (likely 1871 (or 1859)). It would be easier to identify the print if you would be willing to show the whole print instead of one little piece.

Cheers,
Stan

Thank you Stan for helping with the picture. When I get chance to see the print again I will post the whole picture. Thank you once again. Kind regards to you, HC
