Default Pictures by Dunsterville anyone?

I have a set of pictures of orchids which are of no use to me, as I am
not an orchid enthusiast, but I think they may be of some value to
someone who is and would like them to go to a home where they'll be
appreciated. They are large photographic reproductions of orchids set
against black backgrounds. They are in fairly plain white wooden
frames and I could take them out to ship them abroad if anyone would
like them as I would like to use the frames for a some other pictures.

They are mounted on quite nice embossed cards (about 17.5 x 13 inches)
with the Latin names of the plants printed under each picture as
follows:

Oncidium volvox Rchb.f.
Brassavola nodosa Lindl.
Catasetum callosum Lindl.
Epidendrum lividum Lindl.
Oncidium bicolor Lindl.
Oncidium zebrinum Rchb. f.
Epidendrum atropurpureum Willd.
Oncidium falcipetalum Lindl.
Schomburgkia undulata Lindl.
Oncidium ppilo Lindl.

They have a photographic 'signature' in them which looks like "G
Dunsterville" and a quick internet search suggests that these may be
from a folio called "Orquideas de Venezuela" published by Shell in
1960. They look as though they have faded quite a bit, but are still
very attractive. Sorry, I don't have a digital camera, so can't post a
picture of them at present

I'm in Cambridge, England.
