<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 7544868, member: 56&quot;]Happy to be wrong on that point.&nbsp; (Not paying enough attention.) Engraved printing plates had long lives and would often move around.&nbsp; They could be bought and sold, re-printed and re-issued in different publications, even re-engraved.&nbsp; Since yours do not show authorship, I would guess they are later issues.&nbsp; The frames may be contemporary with the prints, which, if true, might be a plus, but I think modern collectors prefer framing that shows whatever information the print offers, including things like plate marks and titles.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s very common for a frame to be the greater part of the price in print sales.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s good that the prints aren&#039;t showing acid burn from the mats.&nbsp; Decent quality materials were used in the framing.&nbsp; Clean the glass thoroughly before putting them back together (it&#039;s always surprising to me how dirty the inside of the glass can get), and you&#039;ll probably end up wanting to do the other as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
