I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on these prints I have acquired. They are in a black folder, each folder contains individual envelopes in them with prints of what appears to be duplications of Japanese Wooden Block Prints. I would like to know who made these, why and when. If you can assist I would greatly appreciate it. The pics are attached of the folder, inside folder, and print.

A Japanese compilation with reproductions of woodblock prints by eight famous ukiyo-e artists:
Toshusai Sharaku, Torii Kiyonaga, Keisai Eisen, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Suzuki Harunobu, Utagawa Toyokuni, Gototei Kunisada, Kitagawa Utamaro.

Guy.

Thank you very much. Hopefully, this will allow me the ability to find out when it was made and why.
