I have inherited two prints, one by the artist Paul Emile Lecomte titled Vieux logis en Bourgogne-France with the number 5 beside a circle with SZL in it. And the other print, I am not sure of the artist name, possibly, Lorenz Besserat? Titled Vieilles maisons en Picardie-France with the number 6 beside a circle with SZL in it. Any info on how old and value would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The response from scriptor-ga is very insightful.

Basically PES was set up by Sidney Z. Lucas, hence the SZL mark. He owned a printshop in New York in the years 1940 to 1960 where He
produced a large number of prints after old etchings.
Generally, prints by Mr. Lucas seem not to reach very high prices.
At the end of the day they look nice, but that's about it.
Most of what is talked about them is from people "boiler rooming" the price on the supposed French history.

I hope this helps.
