Note: These may be illustrations for a novel about the sea. One depicts a sailor, recently rescued by a companion, dreaming of his family awaiting his safe arrival home. In the other, his wife and child rest their eyes; she sees a worrying image of a ship tossed among stormy waves. This would be a typical scenario for families with a father at sea, at a time when sailing was particularly dangerous.
