An upcoming auction at Leo Spik (in Germany) has a cool lot of 21 theatre albums. They include art from a number of Utagawa artists including Kunisada, Kunimori, and Kuniteru. I love the vibrant covers to the albums, absolutely eye-catching. They don’t go into the specifics, or show the contents, but based upon the covers and the artists I’m guessing their from the 1850s and likely include descriptions of plays and prints of actors. They’re estimating the lot at €250, which seems like a pretty good deal, considering all the material there.
