The artworks appear to be lithographs with hand-applied color, a popular decorative art form of the mid-to-late 19th century, with subtle yellow and green accents enhancing the monochrome imagery. The prints are beautifully presented in original gilt frames with period green mats, possibly velvet, adding warmth and depth to the compositions.

The reverse retains the original label reading “Styled by A.B. – Fleck Bros. – A Mark of Quality – NYC,” indicating the pieces were curated and framed by Fleck Brothers of New York, a well-known late 19th–early 20th century framing and decorative arts studio that specialized in importing and presenting European works for the American market.

These works were intended as refined decorative art for parlors and sitting rooms and remain highly versatile today—perfect for traditional, English country, French, or classic interiors. See less
