Subject:Help with Reading Cartouches
Posted By: Irwin Mon, Sep 09, 2024 IP: 174.127.209.134
Would appreciate help in reading the cartouches on this frontispiece appearing in the July 1924 issue of the performing arts magazine Engei shashincho. The artist signing as 紫光 Shikō is believed to be the artist Tanaka Shikō 田中紫光. A postcard of the same actor and role by Shikō is included.
Thanks.

Nagy-san,
Thank you for sending me in the right direction. I've come across another print bearing a cartouche with this artist's name, which is transcribed as 尾上菊五郎 (6代目), Onoe Kikugorō VI.
With thanks,
Irwin
