Utagawa Yoshifuji [歌川芳藤] (1828-1887) was a pupil of Kuniyoshi Utagawa. He specialised in subjects of warriors and toy paintings. He also worked as an illustrator for children's books. I have just added this print of a woman and child to the catalogue. I cannot identify it beyond the fact it has Edo [東都] as a title. Does anyone have any additional information?

The series title is "Comparison of Famous Sites of Edo" 東都名所くらべ (or of the Eastern Capital) and the fan shaped inset is titled Asakusa and shows the temple Sensōji 浅草寺 and some of the nakamise shopping area.
