Meiji Period (1868-1912) and Taisho Period(1912-1926)so that you can make a judgement on these dates. But I am not %100 sure that this print was made in these periods because it is not easy to comment on the print by looking at a scanned image. In my opinion there is no misalignment in terms of color setting of the illustration.But the color scale is kept limited due to the painter's usage of color which is natural.More over Keibun was not an ukiyo-e print maker and designer like Toyokuni or Hiroshige or other painters who illustrated books, made series of popular themes.
