Printed from one plate, these two images come from a set of twelve. They were made for an illustrated book published in London by John van Voorst in 1834. Each centers on a vignette illustration, with the book's title above, quotes and publication details below.
The prints are numbered below the images, p. 33 and p. 95.
p. 33 shows a woman in a white dress seen from behind walking in a landscape. Text below: "Lo! Yonder she walketh in maiden sweetness, with innocence in her mind, and modesty on her cheek"
p. 95 shows a man on horseback offering his cloak to a poor man seated on the ground. Text below: "Give thy raiment to the naked, and thy food unto the hungry, so shall thou be praised and shall feel that thou deservest it."

Related drawings by Howard are in the Museum's collection (66.542.37(2) and 66.542.37(3)).
