Esteemed I. Nagy thank you very much for your assistance once again. So it seems to be 2 pictures of the same historical event, I wonder how common were those memorial pictures. The stack of scrolls contains several more prints of the Royal family which look prewar as well, Guess they belonged to some scholar or a collector. Will look up the japanese internet segment for more clues. Best regards. Spartakos
