Morance's publishing house specialized in fine arts and architecture, he founded the "Albert Morancé Editions" whose collections include this one, "Documents D'Art, Musee Du Louvre, L'Estampe Japonaise, XVII et XVIII Siccles" (Japanese Prints, XVII & XVIII centuries), it was published in cooperation with Gaston Migeon, the director of The Louvre Museum at that time.

Toshusai Sharaku (active 1794–1795) was a Japanese ukiyo-e print artist, known for his portraits of kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers. Little is known of him besides the prints he designed; neither his true name nor the dates of his birth or death are known. His active career as a woodblock artist spanned ten months; his prolific work met disapproval, and his output came to an end as suddenly and mysteriously as it had begun. His work has since been recognized as some of the greatest in the ukiyo-e genre.
