It does seem hard to find information about these on the Internet. What I have come up with so far, is that they were made in England. They would appear to represent works of painted art by prominent artists. I believe that the one that you have is a representation of the painting "Jonathan Buttall: The Blue Boy", by Thomas Gainsborough.
