The artist is Nakai Yoshitaki 中井芳滝, here signing "ōju Yoshitaki ga" 応需 芳瀧画
The print is an actor portrait, depicting Nakamura Shijaku 中村紫若 as Otohime 乙姫 (乙ひめ/乙飛免), princess of an undersea palace in folklore.
The other text appears to be:
新街 津村正之助
Shinmachi(?) Tsumura Shōnosuke
新道x丁目
"Tsumura Shōnosuke" is clearly a personal name, though a brief search turns nothing up. The last bit, ending in "chōme" 丁目, is a partial address.
I don't think any of this is the name of a book -- possibly they are the name and address of an owner, perhaps the creator of the album?
