Can you please help interpret the writing and artists and any other info on these prints.
Once posted I can send additional close-up pic's of the symbols.
Thank You.

Both prints are by Hiroshige I. The first print is "Kakegawa: Junction with the Akiba Road (Kakegawa, Akibamichi oiwake no zu)", from the series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tôkaidô Road (Tôkaidô gojûsan tsugi no uchi), also known as the Gyôsho Tôkaidô. THe Boston MFA has a copy of the print here:

I wasn't able to find the second print online.

Cheers,
Stan

The signature is a little hard to see. I got off an the wrong foot. The artist is Hiroshige III. The print is: "Famous Places in Tokai - The Revised Fifty-Three Stations : Revised Travel Journal No. 28, Nissaka, Sayononakayama Pass".

The Edo Tokyo Museum has the print here:
