would love to know the source for these!

I loved these so much that I spent some time in the NYPL archives to dig up more details.  The West Indian Flower Girl is from April, 1810.   Here’s the link to a big version of that one: http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm?trg=1&strucID=600974&imageID=1248946&total=128&num=0&word=west%20india&s=1&notword=&d=&c=&f=&k=0&lWord=&lField=&sScope=&sLevel=&sLabel=&imgs=20&pos=14&e=w

My cursory search didn’t find the other one, but I found another one which I like even better: http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm?trg=1&strucID=600973&imageID=1248945&total=4&num=0&word=21359&s=1&notword=&d=&c=&f=13&k=0&lWord=&lField=&sScope=Name&sLevel=&sLabel=Brunias%2C%20Agostino&imgs=20&pos=2&e=w
