I'd like to know when these portraits may have been done and what process was used -- a re-creation of photographs? The stamp shown was on the reverse of the frames - the frames are beautiful also. Any info appreciated!!

Great old photos. Love the frames.
These are copy images that were enlarged. The process was very popular in the late 19th- early 20th century.
Usually some of the details were lost in the enlargement process, so details were drawn in and many times these were colored.
Based on the clothing, I would put the original images in the 1890s. The frames are more typical of the early 20th century.

Thanks Caperkid! and Thanks Scott! Scott it looks like you are going to be my greatest mentor, and I thank you for that as I need all the help I can get!
Scott is legendary!
Great photos and the frames are special too.
Love your name StillLearning! I can ascribe to that too.
I agree with racer! As soon as I saw your id name, I thought, we are all still learning! I know I am ;)
Thanks to all! Now that I re-think it, I probably should've gone with user name of "Rookie" LOL, I have so far too go and so much to learn. Loving and researching the "Old Stuff" is my new passion.
These are my great-grandparents; thank you officialfuel, and everyone else for loving.
Radegunder, thanks!
