絹川谷蔵 中村芝翫・足利頼兼 市村羽左衛門(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
This is a Japanese woodblock print album of kabuki actor portraits by Utagawa Toyokuni, published in 1862 in Japan by Etsuka for a general audience of theatregoers and collectors. The two pictures show standing kabuki actors in stage costumes against plain backgrounds, with vertical Japanese text panels and a red-and-white circular crest in the upper field. A designer could take the bold patterned kimono motifs, the flat colour blocks, and the vertical cartouche layout as reference for graphic composition.
