DescriptionSimilar to 11.36737, which shows the same actor in multiple roles in the same production; but the publisher is different, so the two prints are probably not from the same set.

NOTES:
[1] Much of Bigelow's collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museum's collection at later dates.
