Featured Valuing two 19th century, French etchings

I inherited these from my grandfather who bought them in Europe a hundred years ago. I know nothing about them except what I can read on the etchings themselves.
Titles: Medecin du Corps and Médecin de L'Ame.. Doctor of the body and Doctor of the soul. My grandfather was a doctor and a devote Catholic, so these etchings were important to him.

they were engraved by Paul Girardet and published by Goupil and Co.

do any of you know anything more?

many thanks,

James

 

I'll try. Any advice on how to do this?
James

 

thanks.

 

Now there are 2 threads.

 

Can you post a close up image of the names?

 

@Richard Arthur had an earlier thread on this engraver:

Sure

 

I'm tagging out: @moreotherstuff

(I don't know values and you seem to have the big pieces of info. )

 

I just look things up online like so many others.

How big are they? It can make a difference.

They have the look of steel plate engravings, which does not bode well for value.

What does all the tiny writing say? The stuff at the bottom corners of the image, and the stuff along the bottom edge below the title?

 

Looks like the same artist did both? Does anyone know the artist's name?

 

Well both were engraved by the same artist. Paul Girardet. But could he have been copying another artists work?

 

The framed pieces are about 24”x18”. The small print below them says “PRINT PAR E.LEPOITEVIN”. “GRAVE PAR PAUL GIRARDET “

Imprime & Publie par GOUPIL & Cie. le 1er Avril 1861l
“Paris London”

Then at the very bottom.
“Berlin Verlag vun Goupil & Cie “
And “New York Published by M. Knoedler”

 

Bingo! A hit a hit, a very palpable hit!

 

I'd say it is the same artist, but you will have to bear in mind this one is oil on canvas, not a print.
