Untitled comic chûban series

This untitled comic series is not listed in Kuniyoshi by Basil William Robinson (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1961).  The images are each about 10 by 7 inches (25 by 18 centimeters), a size known as chûban.  Two images were printed on a sheet of paper about 10 by 14 inches (25 by 36 centimeters), a size known as ôban.
