HELP WITH TWO INDIAN MAIDEN PRINTS

These two Indian Maiden pictures were hanging in a bar in a Pennsylvania Coal Mining town back in the 50's. A friend bought them but would now like to sell them. Can anyone  give me an idea of their value? They are about 17" by 32" framed. No artist signature. I do believe they are only prints.

HELP WITH TWO INDIAN MAIDEN PRINTS

Very stylized look of an Indian maiden, certainly not at all realistic...but popular in illustrations from the 1920's through the 1950's...

Reminds me in some ways of the work of illustrator Harrison Fisher.

I wonder if your prints were calendars.?

Do you see any sign of staples around about the lower part of the image.?

Yard longs of Indian maidens were very popular during the early 1900's, but you prints fall short in length..

Thank you so much. I do believe you are right and they were part of a calendar that someone cut down and made homemade frames for. They are beautiful and I have been trying to talk my friend into keeping them. Your answer helped make up his mind.
