Need help indentifying hand colored prints

I bought these prints at a thrift shop. I'm not a huge fan of the frames, but they were nicely framed fairly recently, so I haven't torn into them. The area inside the mat is about 9x13 inches, and I assume the prints are just slightly larger

It's the monogram of Albrecht Dürer.  A Google image search should give you the names and info for  the originals.  The first one is identified on Wikipedia as "Nuremberg woman in house dress," for example, which is probably what the writing on it says.  I didn't spot the second one right off hand, but it'll be there.

I see age to them by the foxing spots and discoloration. Might be victorian, and laid down on a non-archival board. Go thru the online catalogue raisonné and find the prints and see if the sizes match as a start. Take better pictures. Be careful (know what you've got) before you "tear into em". Take well lit crystal clear pics (close ups).

 

I've seen these before and just took a look and didn't see them.
