Info on Woodcut prints

Hello. I have several woodblock prints that I am trying to find information on. I am particularly looking for sources where I can find out more about the artist and series, as well as what the worth might be.

The first is apparently named "Play Chess." Artist is Oho Yung-Suk 1686-1761. Maker is Han Jin-Hae. It is marked '69 on the front and was print #163 out of 300 made. I am assuming that this was a modern print from an old woodcut. It features 6 men playing chess on a grass mat under a tree.

Print #2 is named Pleasure of Spring Time. It is also printed by Han Jin-Hae in 1970. It is # 186 out of 500. It features 5 men walking with 3 women mounted on horseback.

Print #3 is A Tavern. It is #203 out of 500. Again signed by Han Jin-Hae. Marked 1969. It features two women ladeling some sort of soup or stew to 5 men.

All three look to be hand colored with watercolor and/or pencil. They are also all matted and framed similarly. They also have what I believe to be Chinese markings on the front, in addition to the signature, print number, etc.

I can upload photos if this would help.

Thanks in advance for any info or links you can provide!
