I was lucky enough to stumble on these a while back at a thrift store here in the Kansas City area. As you can see, they are vey old. I can speak German, so I can make out the writing. I'm wanting help with age, origin, and what they are exactly (My knowledge of difference between engraving, lithograph, ect is very lacking :) These were sold as "Antique English Color Engraving by a long gone department store in Kansas City named Harzfelds. Any and all information is greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks
On the left is a print of a painting by Joseph Karl Stieler. The lady is Princess Alexandra von Bayern.

Well they are not print of the paintings but the are print of drawing that were made of the paintings.
Thank you mp.kunst for that information! I'm a little confused by the last sentence though. Are they hand colored engravings? What year do you think they were made? Thanks!
