Antique Audubon Bird Print

I have a ton of Blue Jays in my back yard. I give them unsalted peanuts every day, and they wait for me! Makes me feel kind of special :-)

This gorgeous print is from Birds of America published in 1827, by JJ Audubon. The illustration was drawn by Robert Havell (1793 - 1878). This print was restored by RawPixel Ltd. and is free to use as long as the above attribution is added.

The Victorians loved scraps! If you ever get a chance to look at some of the old scrapbooks, they are filled with beautiful, strange, and wonderful paper bits similar to this piece. Most of the old scraps were made in Germany, like this rose. I added a slightly aged background. This would make a pretty card. Free to download for personal use.

I take requests! If there is an image that you are looking for let me know!

Vintage Flower Illustrations Art Deco Style

Today's image is 3 floral panels from the American Type Founders Cut Book published in 1900. They were photoengravers who made metal relief plates for letterpress printing. A customer would look at the book and choose the images that they would like to use for prints or advertising. I added an aged background which would look nice framed.

Has anyone ever tasted Sarsaparilla? My grandpa gave it to me as a kid. I thought it was going to taste like Root Beer, and I was so wrong! This little Sarsaparilla girl is very pretty though, no doubt because she gets dosed with the stuff every day! Free to download for personal use.

Read the poem on the back of the card, it's pretty funny!
