They look like carbon prints. You can make prints directly on glass by exposing through the back of the glass or transfer carbon print to the glass support. How big is his work?
I made some carbon prints on glass last year and was heading for a similar project of making tricolor carbons on 3 separate glass plates sandwiched togeter. You would see aligned picture only at a certain angle, otherwise you would see colors separating. I never made it past my first color. Hurricane Ike came and all the glass plates that I stored in the fridge went out with all the food when we lost power for several days. Never went back to work on it some more.
