1660s Etching + others HELP!!

Hi there !

I'm new here & I was recently clearing out a passed relatives house & I came across several etchings,

I can clearly read that one of those is by George Cruikshank,

But Theres one that's dated to the 1600s, and several others ! Some in a foreign language

I was wondering if any of you guys new anything about these and if they would be worth anything,

One of them also says fac simile of DR JOHNSONS HANDWRITING which has 3 signatures from a J.Johnson & is published by William Pickering

Thank you very much!

 

Could you edit your post to select 'full size' for the pictures.

Today I sold seven prints from the late 1600s for less than £10 each, so the print market is not exactly bouyant.

 

Not all of these are prints one of them is hand etched I think , just after advice cheers

 

They are all prints, an etching is a print. I am wondering why anyone would frame a Stevengraph advert. These are usually on the back of the mounts Stevengraph pictures typically came in.

In today's market nothing looks all that valuable, but the pictures lack contast and focus for my defective eyes to make out more. It is possible that market is different where you are.

 

It might have been a family "thing"; I have a framed fertilizer advertisement floating around somewhere. It's from a factory that was in Newark NJ.

 

maybe framed for the siggy ..upper right hand...

 

I like them -- lots of possible things to research there.
