Very nice, Komokwa!

 

The lines look like lithography (hand colored) to me, but they could still be of the period. And I could be wrong.

 

I am with @moreotherstuff , that they look like lithographs rather than engravings. I suppose the one on liveauctioneers may have been misidentified, but they describe Henry Thomas Aiken as a painter and engraver. Lithography was invented in 1796, so they could still be early reproductions.

 

Wikipedia says there's a collection of his illustrations in the British Museum, so that might be a site worth checking.

Here’s a bio of the publisher.

 

so they are 1840's to 50's reprints, hand tinted lithographs.....
am I correct to consider this ?

 

Sounds like it from that bio.

 

Framed after 1928, I would assume.
