Hello,

I would appreciate any information about when this print was done and by whom. Thanks.

Martin,

The first print is by Ando Hiroshige from the series "One Hundred Famous views of Edo". The prints in this series were first published between 1856 and 1858. The title of the print is "Inside Akiba Shrine, Ukeji". You can find an image of an early example of the print at the link below.

I can't help with other print on the link. It looks to me as though it might be a page from a picture book from the earlier part of the 1800s.

Thank you very much.

Your severely faded print is by Ando Hiroshige. It is from his famous 100 Views of Edo series printed in 1857. Its title is: Precincts of the Akiba; Shrine at Ukechi.

The Boston MFA has many copies. Here is one:
