For scale, the top of the fireplace mantle is 76 inches wide. More detailed pics available.

As the preference, to minimize the pain and logistics of selling individually, I would prefer to sell the collection as a whole. For me there's a couple of things to consider, I was offered $20000 for the collection by an art broker, "potentially more" if I gave them to him on consignment. While I took A LOT of grief at home for not taking the offer, I was put off by the idea that the deal was simply to generate $ for the broker and not for the enjoyment of them on display in a home, lodge, hotel etc. I'm not saying that money is not important, but there was that consideration. I have $20,000 invested in them, and have had 30 years of enjoyment - so they owe me nothing. So $20K plus shipping would take the lot.

Replying to PMs now, if I can figure out how to do it. Thanks.
