Vintage Bird Illustration

This black and white bird illustration is from the book "Useful birds and their protection. Containing brief descriptions of the more common and useful species of Massachusetts, with accounts of their food habits, and a chapter on the means of attracting and protecting birds" by Edward Forbush.

An extremely verbose title for a book! It was published in 1913.

Pretty Bird Postcard

I've been a little AWOL for a few days, so sorry about that. I've had a bunch of Halloween stuff to get finished. I'll post pictures later on today for you to take a peek.

This gorgeous bird postcard was illustrated by Elsie Sitler in 1912. Hope that you can use it!

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.

Hope you have fun with it! Would look great in a bird themed junk journal!

Happy May everyone!  I hope it will be a bit warmer than April was.  I have so many Robins in my backyard that I thought I would refurbish a vintage bird illustration for you.  I cleaned it up and added a pretty background.  Free to download for personal use. 

This would make a pretty greeting card!
