I have several of these. A few are 8 x 10 inches and the others are 5 x 7.
One of the artists is H.J. Ford and they are illustrations from old Fairy Tale Storybooks.
They are different colors and framed with what looks like lead.
I don't know if they paint is stamped on (ink image is a little raised) or if they are
hand-painted. The glass color is streaked with white.
I am very new to all this. I just started buying antiques to furnish an old
house I just bought. Everything needs refinishing!
I bought these on Craigslist. Does anyone know anything about them?

Someone has "framed" these prints or paintings with lead cane, that is used in making some stained glass pieces, so that they can be hung on the wall or in a window.

The fact that the glass is streaked with white indicates that they are not very old. I am not sure how long this type of glass has been available but I would say not much earlier than the 1970's.

They are pretty and as long as you love them  they are amazing.
