The listing states that these are original and were printed 80 - 90 years ago (or some such) and that the original steel plates used to make them likely don't exist anymore.
But, hey, even if they were made yesterday, what's the dif? Same thing. If you can feel the impressions and there are no pixels or dots, then it's an engraving. They're amazing to scan. You can zoom in as far as your machine will go, and even the shading reveals only tiny lines!
My thoughts are that a printer made a bunch of these for a bunch of GLOs way back for use in a yearbook or some other book, and they were stored for many years until this ebay seller bought and matted them. I see he has listed some more recently that he says WERE cut from yearbooks and have text on the backside.
ZAX,
