Guy, thanks very much for all your help on these, it's most informative. I was intending to take these and some other prints to the BM at some time but came across this site and had just bought a digital camera, so thought I'd try it out first. Glad I did.
I forgot to give you the dimensions for these: the Eisen print is 21/18.5cm, and the Kiyoharu is 17.3/10.4cm.
As I said, there are a couple of other unidentified prints that I will post, they are still lives, and seem to be by the same artist. They are probably not as interesting, and are not in as good condition as the others, these each measure 12.6cm square.
There was also a nice print by Gakutei with these that I will post for your interest.
Again any information you can give on these would be much appreciated.
The reverse side of the backing cards show signs where other prints have been removed. One can only wonder what these may have been. They must havebeen part of a good collection of surimono at one time.
Regards,
David.
