very nice. these look like woodblock prints published by Rongbaozhai first in the early 1950s and reprinted several times thereafter. the first is a collection of paintings by Qi Baishi, the second and third are woodblock printed sheets of stationary paper, the first with a titleslip inscribed by Qi Baishi again, the second reproducing a Ming period collection of woodblock prints from "Ten Bamboo Studio", its titleslip inscribed by Yu Fei'an, a painter who had a lovely calligraphy style that imitated that of the last Northern Song emperor Huizong.

But that's all I can surmise from the covers. You said you have papercuts, which seems wrong given the titles, perhaps someone has switched out the content?
