Hello, can't quite make out the last name of the artist on the lithographs. Appreciate any help.

I believe I see strike marks which indicates that you may have an aquatint or colored etching or engraving and not a lithograph.

@shashedevind0 is correct that the artist (Jules Girardet) of the original painting "Siege of Saragossa" is not the same person whose signature is on your print (looks like A.L. Shaw). So the signer of yours could be the artist who created the work after the painting by Girardet (in other words, copied it).

Well as far as what I could find, the name which appears to be on the painting isn't the one who drew it. You could find the details on it by the below link.

Scroll down and you will see the painting and the original painter's name.

Happy Holidays
