Hi, i think this might be handy for you: first upload your woodblock in https://ukiyo-e.org/ than you know a lot of information.
And ask someone from this forum for the date of printing.
Good luck with searching!

Your print is by Suzuki Toshimoto and is titled "Three Famous Ladies". It was printed circa 1890.

"Chikyu Zenkai; Raimei Kagami" (Around the Globe; Mirror of Thunderous Names). Three famous ladies in history. Poetess Ono Komachi (left), Princess Gu of Kingdom So in ancient China and courtesan Takao.

Cheers,
Stan
