@ water colors aprox 8x10 with out frame, both have the blind ESK stamp, standing for Examined South Kensington. Which is a art school from around 1800-1900 before getting a different name. Both say they where painted by A. F. Whitcher. The only name I could find close was Annie F Whitcher from the Art School of Bloomsbury, were she is a Art Master of the 3rd grade. If it is the same person. Both frames seems to be original, and the water colors are well done
Interesting - it's an unusual name so odds on it was Annie - there is so much skill in these drawings too.
Even the frames are beautiful.
