Subject:identification of three Chinese prints
Posted By: manuD Wed, Sep 13, 2023 IP: 2a01:e0a:d42:8ab0:89
I would like to know what the inscriptions on these (presumably Chinese) prints say. I could identify the flute player as Han Xiangzi, but nothing else. I also wonder how old they are. I believe the title is written from right to left, does that give a minimum age?
Thank you

It is likely that the other two prints are also from the 1920s.
