‘Modern’ Chinese Woodblock Prints (Double-Sided), 1960s-1980s (Set of 4)

We believe these pages were intentionally cut out of a compilation of Chinese art printed for an English language audience. They are not original prints. We have photographed them as two sets, thinking that if framed in glass on both sides, you could have four black and white prints on one side. When bored, turn the frame around, and you have four color prints.
 
We believe all were created using the traditional Chinese water-soluble ink as we were able to identify six of them through the Chinese Waterprint Woodblock (CWW) database. 
 
Among images included in this set are the below with English titles given and the CWW titles found online with dates where available:
 
Black and White:
1. Between Two Villages / Wu Jan (aka Wu Jian or Wu Guanzhong, a prominent Chinese painter known for integrating traditional Chinese painting techniques with Western art styles. This was a 1965 calendar image in lighter colors)
2. Ferrying at Dawn / Huang Pi-mo
3. Morning in a Fishing Village / Chu Cbin-pao (comes from a series titled ‘One Hundred views of Eternal China’, a Sino-Japanese project which ran 1980-1986)
4. Bird-scaring / Wu Jan
 
 
Color Waterprint Woodcuts:
1. Kwangtung Seashore / Shen Jou-chien (Kwantung the old English spelling of what is now known as Guangdong)
2. The West Lake at Hangchow / Chang Yang-his (aka Autumn Moon in the Water, 1960, by Zhang Yangxi waterprint woodcut)
3. Chihsia Mountain at Nanking / Chang Hsin-yu (Qixia Mountain, 1961, by Zhang Xinyu)
4. New Town in the Forest / Chiang Cheng-bung (New city, 1959, Jiang Zhenghong)
 
The pages are not in perfect condition with damaged corners as shown in photos, but we could not bear to just toss these because of that. Only one page has clearly been cut out of a book with a slightly imperfect edge.
Each page approx. H 10 1/8” x L 9”
 
Interesting fact learned from Artelino, an online woodblock printing specialist: The Chinese invented woodblocks but used them as a folk art tool through the 18th and 19th centuries. The Japanese adopted the method and then took it to a fine art level.
