The next four. The device of the open book pages was appropriated from Kunisada though I don't know if he was the first to use the device or even the only one to do so. And when I saw it in my book on his prints, they only showed up in ads he did for cosmetics. Perhaps the pages denote something like having the words, "PAID ADVERTISEMENT" below the photos. I don't know. But I have a reason for using this convention and for focusing only on Tamino's head. So there.

EDIT: Did some work on these as it felt too bare.

Thank you very much! There is more to come. I know it's been a long long while, but the story is being finished.
