<p>In general, the name of the artist is written in the seal.
In the photos you took, the font of the seal is 小篆(Small Seal Script /Xiao Zhuan, an archaic form of Chinese calligraphy). Since it was a little blurred, I'm not 100% sure but I think its 沈扬, not 沈阳. 
I tried to google this person's name, but unfortunately, I didn't find any useful information about this person/artist.
In my opinion, there are two possibilities: maybe he/she is a well-known artist and since it's a picture you bought 50 years ago. It's hard to figure out who he/she is.
Or, as 水巷孑蠻 said, its just a picture from “product line“, even the seal may be not true.
But this is still a beautiful picture with memories, isn't it?</p>

artist? well, at that time in hong kong, products targeted for tourists are not made by one artist. think about a “product line“. one skilful craftsman made part one, then send it to another skilful craftsman to make part two, etc . . . until it’s sold in a gallery

Just so that there's no confusion about the character shape in the seal, which is 「陽」 and not 「揚」. See the third shape below:

The left-hand-side component of the character is [「阜・阝」](http://xiaoxue.iis.sinica.edu.tw/yanbian?kaiOrder=1095) rather than [「手・扌」](http://xiaoxue.iis.sinica.edu.tw/yanbian?kaiOrder=129). There is a fair amount of fading around the middle of the character.
