Pair of Southwest-style adobe architectural prints

This pair of framed decorative prints depicts adobe architecture, stylistically consistent with the American Southwest or New Mexico landscape tradition. Each image bears a printed signature that appears to read 'H. BRUEGGEMANN', which is consistent with work from Mid-20th-century commercial illustrators. The artwork features sun-drenched tan dwellings with exposed viga beams, climbing vines, and desert greenery. Each piece is housed in a specialty wood-toned frame featuring an embossed repeating pattern of Southwest-inspired iconography, such as stylized human figures and arrows. The prints are double-matted with a cream-colored top mat and a teal-green inner reveal. Based on the construction and the printed nature of the signatures, these appear to be mass-produced decor items likely dating from the 1970s to the 1990s. The frames show some visible wear, including minor scuffing on the corners and edges of the wood-effect finish. Without physical inspection, it is impossible to determine if these are original offset lithographs or later digital reproductions. The attribution to H. Brueggemann is based solely on the legible mark in the lower-left portion of the images.

I have examined the digital images of these two architectural prints. Based on what I can see, the pieces appear to be decorative mass-market reproductions rather than individual works of fine art. The images bear printed signatures consistent with H. Brueggemann, an artist associated with mid-to-late 20th-century commercial decor. The framing style, specifically the teal-green matting and the embossed iconography on the frames, suggests a production date between the 1970s and 1990s. I cannot verify from a photo the specific printing method; while they may be offset lithographs, a physical inspection would be required to determine if they are more recent digital prints or if there is any hand-embellishment. The value estimate is based on the current market for vintage Southwest-themed home decor. Items of this type are generally valued for their aesthetic appeal and interior design utility rather than as investment-grade fine art. The decorative frames show some minor wear, which is typical for items of this age and slightly impacts the desirability. If these prints were to be identified as limited edition runs with hand-signed documentation or provenance, the value might increase slightly, but given the visual evidence of mass-production, they are valued here as decorative multiples. Should they be determined to be modern low-resolution copies, the value would drop to a purely nominal amount ($10-$20). To confirm the exact age and medium, an in-person examination by a specialist in 20th-century prints would be necessary to inspect the paper grain and ink application under magnification.
