    I have found most of these I think....except the horses (still working on them) but guessing they're 20c not 19th? Can anyone help with age, just not sure where in the 20c They appear to some age...
    Here is a closer image of the paper, maybe that will help?
    Would greatly appreciate a little help!

    All the 19th century 'floating world' prints I have sold bled through the paper so much you could see them almost as well from the back as the front.

    I never got round to educating myself about the later reprints apart from a couple of fairly well known series.

    I suspect a real expert could tell more from your pictures and other pictures, but I'm sorry to say that I can't, much as I'd like to.

    If they are all unframed, don't show bleed through and have 90 degree corners, early impressions seem to be ruled out. There were some 'standard' sizes, but I can't remember what they were.
