Two prints what are they? & Possibly the value

Here is a start...the second is a print of a self-portrait (Hogarth) with his pug named "Trump". I think there were probably several print sources and dates.
Here's an eBay link with similar ones that might help you.

And another related print...

I don't know enough much about the guy, other than that he was a famous portraitist/caricaturist in the late 17002. I think he did his own prints, but if yours is a much later one, obviously somebody else made it.
This is a print company that has some of his prints for sale. They have been very helpful in the past when I have inquired about things.

Hopefully somebody here will know more. You might want to give the dimensions for their consideration.
Good luck.

The first painting...
I'm not sure how this all ties together, but here's some information that may help you or others figure it out.


Henry Pruett Share “A White Wall of Venice” Etching

According to this site...
http://www.antiques.com/classified/...tt-Share----A-White-Wall-of-Venice----Etching


"Henry Pruett Share Well-known engraver, Henry Pruett Share. A talented etcher as well as an illustrator, he was a full member of the influential New York Etching Club and contributed a number of fine etchings to national exhibitions before the turn of the century. A White wall of venice is a collaboration between Henry Pruett Share’s talents and those of the American landscape and genre painter, Nicholas landscape designs have often been grouped with American Impressionist.

Henry Pruett Share “A White Wall of Venice” Etching after the work by Rhonda Nicholas. This measures 3 by 5.50 inches (plate mark) on laid paper and in good condition with uneven margins."

 

Hogarth's doggie was named "TRUMP??!!"

Be still my words...

 

The dog was named "Trump" because Hogarth played cards or because the dog didn't have enough tail to "thump"!!!!

 

Are these all from that same book: Collection of Etchings of Notable Academy Pictures? These are copies, etched or engraved, of other people's work. The Hogarth is a mirror image, perhaps the others are as well, and the size is to fit the book and apparently unrelated to the originals.

The link from Gila shows a print with titles and acknowledgements. Has yours been trimmed?


How does the size of yours compare to the one in the link?

It's possible that 12 different artists were assigned a picture each to render as a print and the results were collected into that book. (A long time ago, I had a similar book that was a collection of prints by various artists.) If you can name the person who did the plate, that may help with the value.

 

I believe the Nichols/boat piece is on silk, right?

 

I have no idea if it is trimmed, I don't want to take the tape off. And yes it does seem to be on silk.

 

Souvenirs of an exhibition?
