What do I call these?

    For a description to sell. What do I call these? I have a couple of ideas but if I am wrong..... I also had to take the snapshots in a dimmer light because of glare. I can redo them if someone has a solution for that. They measure 9 1/4" x 10" each auction 729.jpg auction 733.jpg

    Well, the stickers on the backs of your pictures indicate where they were framed, and very possibly purchased. They say nothing about the artist him/herself.

    Fleck Brothers was an art/framing shop at 9 W 20th St in New York City, owned and operated by Walter and Henry Fleck.

    A brief synopsis I found online says:

    Offers Wide Variety of Smaller Scale Graphics
    Fleck Bros., piloted for over 30 years by Walter and Henry Fleck, ...
    With complete facilities to fit, mat and frame all prints sold and very large inventory


    from: Furniture World and Furniture Buyer and Decorator, Volume 181, Issue 25, Towse Publishing Company, 1973 via Google Books:
    https://books.google.com/books?id=k...ved=0ahUKEwiuurGggpXWAhWKZiYKHdh3BK0Q6AEIOzAE

    They were apparently in business from the 1940's at least into the early to mid 1970's.

    Again, that's the framing, and maybe the place of purchase. Are these prints? Are there artist's signatures on them?

    Most of the Fleck Brothers prints I found online weren't selling for much, but if yours can be further identified, there may be a bit more value there.

    Thank you SBSVC. There is no signature that I can see. My Aunt bought them as a set in the sixties and that is all I know about them.

    I have a print by the same artist. I can'tfi d the link to it. What I remember is that artist died within in past 5 years at age 94. I remember that the last name started with "M".
