    I bought these two framed prints today. one had this tattered paper taped to the back.
    One explains the fortress. the other I think goes with another print I don't have.
    Prints are 7" x 10 1/2". Frames are 11 1/2 x 14 1/2
    Do these look like maybe museum tourist prints? any thoughts on age.

    Many companies produce reproductions of famous artist paintings. I used google lens to ID the original & the museum that owns it:
    "Camille Corot's painting "Heather Covered Hills near Vimoutiers" (circa 1860) is held in the collection of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. Also known in French as Les collines couvertes de bruyères près de Vimoutiers en Normandie, this landscape is a notable work from the artist's later period.
    • Artist: Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796–1875)
    • Location: Pushkin Museum, Moscow
    • Alternative Title: Les collines couvertes de bruyères près de Vimoutiers en Normandie
    • Date: Circa 1860"
    Here is the site for the Bridgman image: https://www.bridgemanimages.com/en-...moutiers-1860-painting/painting/asset/5336868 .

    I do not know how you could ID the source of the reproduction unless it is printed on the repro. (You could probably compare color and detail quality, but repros fade so that might change with older repros. I am not sure what the point of knowing the manufacturer/publisher would be.)

    If they're contemporary to the frame, looks like 1940s onwards.

    Thank you very much @Iconodule
    The other one is titled Italian Fortress.
    These seem to have some age to them. I will probably have to remove them from the frames.
    There is a lot of cloudiness. The prints are laid on paper rather than a mat in front, so the glass is directly on the prints.
