Bought two old etchings

I was at a estate sale today and purchased two old etchings I believe they are both over 100 years old I don't know much about them any inf would be greatly appreciated I been trying to get info on them. Thanks. it only allows me to upload one photo

 

Then use another post to upload more.....& hit the full size icon..

 

I tried but it says the file is to big?

 

Damn phones...
U need to resize to under 1 mb....
there are apps for that , or send it to your laptop....& do it there.

 

Is it just me who is seeing a really low resolution image?

 

@JB....There are very many posters here who use their phones to post & have trouble getting pics to load . Then there are others who are not used to taking photo's of still life items . It can be a learning process as taking a selfy is not the same as photographing an antique item.
We try to help where we can, cuz we're not all pro photographers.

& ya...the photo above is hard to deal with , so we ask for more & better ones , to help us help the OP !

 

Looks to me like it would be from a series showing street vendors. But that's about all I can say.

 

too blurry to tell

 

She's a mop seller from a "Cries of London" series. There are 2 versions: one with a plain background looking left, and another looking right with a cloudy sky background.

"Maids buy a mapp"

I leave it to people with faster computers to find further details.

 

Looks like you got it " all mopped up " !!!

 

Not quit I have another, can I email some of you pictures of the other also maybe a clear picture of the one I have on here

 

No, that's not how this site works.

 

hello all hopefully these are clearer

 

here is the other

 

The statue was inaugurated in 1866, so this probably dates to that time or a bit later.
Edit:
This is incorrect info. I'll look again later.

 

There looks to be printing on the back of the statue one, like it was cut out of a newspaper. Have you considered opening the back?

 

I could but it's in a really nice frame the backing don't come off unless you tear the paper

 

Turns out that 1866 is correct, which is entirely coincidental to my earlier post. See this eBay listing:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEVONPORT...-Lord-Seaton-Antique-Print-1866-/351399863128

I don't know if the added color is a plus or minus. I guess it shouldn't hurt as the value will be decorative rather than documentary.

 

So about $11 value?

 

I see from the description in that listing that, sure enough, it was "taken from the London Illustrated News."
