Photo/Prints of George Washington & Abraham Lincoln

[vintage-values-etc]

I have no idea where to look for information on these prints.  Local people want to charge me $225 per item to give me information.  Any information on where I can get decent information would be helpful

Photo #1, Print on the left...

Common Washington print, you can check around the Internet by going to Google images. (It's incomplete, and that is what the original oil painting actually looks like).

Photo #1, Print on right...

Same thing.

Photo #3, Print on left...

Another common Washington Print.

Photo #3, Print on the right...

A copy of a well known Lincoln with his son photo.

I suggest you just use Google images to get the artists names, and again, these are common popular prints of well known famous paintings, (except the Lincoln one, which is a common print of a photograph), and not worth anywhere near the $225.00 each to find out about them.

Your second response seemed very helpful.  I'm no print expert, but I acquire them from estates, then like you, I have to find a way to sell them properly.

Usually I unframe the print to see any markings or impressions around the border.  I have a rubber mallet that helps me re-place the nails in the frame, & put the print back in its original place, if I decide to sell it with the frame.

I also have a very helpful reference book that is easy to use, and wasn't too expensive "How to Identify Prints" by Bamber Gascoigne.  It helps me understand which printing process and describe correctly.  These 2 references usually help me identify previous sales of prints similar to mine, so established prices can be found.
