Featured 2 Antique prints found in thrift store today; help w/signatures? Plus 1 by Abel Truchel!

I found these 2 prints today at my local thrift store (+ another antique print by an artist Abel Truchel - who when I googled his name I saw at least some of his work has been sold by Christie's!) - can anyone tell me the artist's names of the 2 prints I don't know?
Also - the smaller one with the circle cut in the matting is a embossed portrait? with writing around it; I'm assuming that's the mark of the paper company but is the paper so good that it shares the audience's attention with the art itself - curious!
It was a good day to be a picker!
Any help would be appreciated!




HERE IS THE PRINT BY ABEL TRUCHEL - WITH SOME KIND OF MARK ON THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF PLATE SIGNATURE

 

Normally I would expect that square to be a monogram for the artist. But this doesn't look like AT.

Love the print!

 

I think the first one is Lucien Dasselborne. Lovely etching but very little interest in the market. I'd love that second one to be Georges Braque but....

 

I thought the initials were maybe paper maker's Mark like the Truchel?
David Broom - I thought it'd be a hard sale unless by a well known artist - and since they were $22.50 each I figured it was worth the chance.
It was the 2nd one that looks like they're on a Batam? death march that I thought would be known/valuable.

 

The Bataan death march took place in 1942. The print is dated 1915.

 

Georges Bruyer on the one.

 

I'm guessing the chop-like mark is a printer's mark. Monogram eV - editions (somebody)?

 

Spot on!

 

The second one, a woodcut, possibly WWI Turkish soldiers.

 

Said they looked like - not that it was!

 

Which one is Bruyer - the march? (Thank you!)

 

I just wanted to be sure you knew when it actually happened, just in case.

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you!

 

The soldiers is the Bruyer.

Yeah I realized that when I looked at the signatures - I started my typing before engaging my brain!

 

I was looking for info to put the Abel Truchel litho on eBay and I found it - but they all have his name as Louis-Abel Truchet - not Truchel?
Also how can I tell if mine is a original 1897 print? The size is same - approx 35" x 26" (art only not measuring frame) - is there any other way to be sure without taking it out of the frame & then having to pay Fast Frames or such to put it back correctly?
Thanks

 

Louis-Abel Truchet and Abel Truchel are different people.

Maybe not.

Wikipedia has a biography for Louis-Abel Truchet, but not for Abel Truchel, and there are only 2 prints I can find signed Truchel - this and a dance hall scene.

But I also don't find anyone saying they are the same.

This print is quite different from Louis-Abel Truchet's other work online.
The dance hall scene, also signed Truchel and with the same mark lower left, looks more like Truchet's work.

It's very confusing.

Well... here's an entry that says Truchet and identifies the publisher as Eugène Verneau (eV).

But I'm not finding that mark on other Eugène Verneau publications.

 

Searching Louis Truchet Luxembourg brings it up
