Graduated

Hi, there
'Those drawings in graduated frames......'
I got a little confused by the meaning of 'graduated'.
1.Does the graduated here mean 'cascading'? Which means frames look like this
http://www.salinepictureframe.com/Frames-by-Size/4x4-Square-Frames/4x4-Cascade-Picture-Frame/prod_3161.html
or this (the picture in the bottom)
http://www.blumchen.com/dresden_trims_frames_pg2.html
This means that this sentence indicates those drawings are in 'cascading frames', the style of the frames are mentioned, but what sizes those drawings are remains unclear.
(I'm pretty much with this)

2. This sentence just simply indicates those drawings are in different sized frames, therefore simply means those are different sized drawings, but what style those drawings' frames are remains unclear.

3. This sentence doesn't provide enough information, so both 1, 2 are possible. We just simply can't tell it on the ground.

Please help me out, thanks!

I don't have the whole sentence or any pictures, so I am guessing. I would guess that they meant that the frames come in a series of sizes. " So the shape of the frame is identical but the size of the frame increases.

I hope this helps.
