    I got these at a thrift store today for $3.95 each; they were newly added to a big box of posters (same box I got the 2 posters I asked about a few days ago).
    The artist's last name looks like Swan to me - the first looks like Poo or Coo??! lol
    Does anyone know who the artist is?
    Thank you; I appreciate any help!

    They all have this EA(?) - that means they are artist's proofs, right?

    You do know they're based on stained glass windows in various French cathedrals: Strasbourg, Notre Dame, and Bourges. 1960s very likely. I see Swan too.

    E.A. stands for épreuve d’artiste or artist's proof. So artist likely French which makes sense given subject. So not Swan but a French name.
