You embedded the photos, so they can't be made larger. What is the writing on the bottom?

I found this,
Francis Wheatley exhibited his series of oil paintings entitled the “Cries of London” at the Royal Academy between 1792 and 1795

Just looked at several sets of these !! They are not hard to find !! Pretty modern frames, I would say yours were done 1950 or after !!  You can still order these sets !!  Almost every print seller has them !!
