Anyone have a ideal on the value of these prints. Thanks in advance.

No idea but I like them.

Nice though they are, prints like this reproduced in modern times for sale in museum shops don't have a great resale value. Although they may originally have been quite pricey, if nicely framed they generally resell for anything up to about $50 (unless they're from limited edition runs). If you Google for eBay listings you'll see both of those prints offered at a variety of prices.

One eBay seller has the "Old man and Child on Buffalo" print listed at $150 but I think that's a highly speculative price which won't be realised.

Thanks Red-Coat, i appreciate the time you put into this.

I found two similar prints that I identified using the Smithsonian's Asian Art Collection Archive. There are tens of thousands of works in there and each usually has a lot of information about them. I see that the catalog #, artist, title and name of collection are already listed on your prints...mine had nothing to indicate what they were. So, after trying a bunch of refined search terms I still had to search hundreds of prints...but I found both in their collections. My prints are apparently actual lithographs printed in France or something. But, just the same, I don't think my resale would be much more than my principle either. I didn't think they were rare, but looked nice and they were in good shape along with the frames.

Thank you Jarl. I look in to that.
