Set Of Three Framed Patriotic American Eagle Prints Appraisal

Set of Three Framed Patriotic American Eagle Prints

This is a set of three vertical rectangular framed prints, each depicting an American bald eagle in a patriotic scene. Each print is housed in a simple, flat-profile black wooden frame with a narrow, subtly gilded inner border that separates the black frame from the artwork. The frames appear to be made of painted wood, showing some light wear and possible dust accumulation consistent with age and handling. The prints themselves feature a muted, somewhat sepia-toned background characteristic of older prints, with the eagles and associated elements rendered in vibrant but harmonized colors. The top print shows an eagle perched atop a cannon and a drum, with an American flag draped around the artillery. The middle print displays an eagle perched on a laurel wreath containing an American shield, with naval ships visible in the background against a blue sky or sea. The bottom print features a larger eagle with an American flag shield, overlooking what appears to be a historical tableau, possibly a depiction of a constitutional convention or a similar foundational American event with figures in period attire. There are no visible artist signatures or specific manufacturing marks discernible from the image. The prints appear to be either lithographs or chromolithographs, dating perhaps to the mid-20th century, possibly as early as the 1940s-1960s, given the style and framing. The condition of the prints themselves shows some visible wear, including what might be slight discoloration, minor creasing, or age-related foxing, particularly noticeable as lighter spots or areas of inconsistency on the paper surfaces. The glass covering the prints, if present, is clear, and there are no significant glares or reflections obscuring the artwork. The craftsmanship of the prints suggests mass production for decorative purposes, typical of patriotic decor from their estimated period. The overall quality is fair, with the frames adding a classic, understated presentation.
