Hello and thank you for looking .
The prints listed date from 1894-1905 .
They were printed by Joseph Hoover and Sons .
They are Original vintage prints .
They measure 16" x 20".
Due to their age a few have small scuffs and condition problems, nothing a good mat and frame couldn't easily fix.
I have multiples of a few of the same print ,I will put the amount of a particular multiple print under the description .
If you have any questions or need any information please do not hesitate to contact me .
The print prices are $50 each or I can make a package deal to anyone who would like to purchase the whole lot !
I believe these prints date from the 1890s -1910s
They range in price on E Bay from $20-$160 or so .
If you are looking to find a price of your print I would suggest to look at completed items on E Bay , so sorry I can't get back to everyone that asks me for a price of their print as I have 100s of people asking weekly what the history and price of their prints are ,I wish I could personally write to everyone but unfortunately I can not .
Please note that I appreciate your offers of selling me your Joseph Hoover prints at this time I am not purchasing these prints , thank you .

J. Hoover & Sons issued popular prints for the masses in the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century. This was a business much like Currier & Ives, though Hoover & Sons issued chromolithographs. Joseph Hoover was one of the few native-born Americans who achieved success with chromolithography. Hoover started by making elaborate wood frames in Philadelphia in 1856, but within a decade or so he began to produce popular prints. Initially he mostly worked for other publishers, including Duval & Hunter, and he worked with noted Philadelphia artist James F. Queen. He also issued a few hand-colored, popular prints of considerable charm. During the Centennial, Hoover won a medal for excellence for his chromolithographs after Queens renderings.
In the 1880s, Hoover began to print chromolithographs, installing a complete printing plant by 1885. By the end of the century, his firm was one of the largest print publishers in the county, with an average annual production of between 600,000 to 700,000 pictures. Using chromolithography, Hoover was able to produce attractive, colorful prints that were still affordable for anyone to use as decoration for home and office. The audience for Hoover's prints was quite wide, extending through out the United States, and overseas to Canada, Mexico, England and Germany. The subjects issued by the firm are extensive, including genre scenes, still life images, views of American locations, and generic landscapes, including a series of charming winter scenes.
