These pictures are from a remade 1988 print collection of The Twenty-Eight Famous Murders With Verses which is based off of the 1866 by Getsuoka Yoshitoshi. It's called "Ero-Guru… a type of Japanese illustration that depicts extreme acts of violence in an erotic manner. The word ero-guru means “erotic grotesque nonsense” and the loosely defined movement goes beyond illustration into literature, film and music."
I wish I had more information on it, or a link to the rest of the series.
