The utter lack of consistency in the ornamentation leads me to believe that these are merely sample letter treatments from a lettering or sign-painter's manual, produced in the late nineteenth century. The responsible party, if he knows what's good for him, should remain anonymous...

That would be Eduardo Recife, whoever that is. :)
