Audubon Birds of America Vintage Illustration Pack, 16 Printable Plates

A themed pack of 16 printable vintage plates from John James Audubon's The Birds of America (Havell edition, 1827–1838), ready for junk journals, scrapbooking, card making, collage, decoupage, ephemera and paper crafts. Print them at home, cut them out and layer them into your projects. They also look lovely framed.

Plates included: Wild Turkey (Plate 1), Prothonotary Warbler (Plate 3), Baltimore Oriole (Plate 12), Carolina Turtle Dove (Plate 17), American Goldfinch (Plate 33), Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Plate 47), Painted Finch (Plate 53), Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Plate 66), Snowy Owl (Plate 121), American Robin (Plate 131), Cardinal Grosbeak (Plate 159), Barn Swallow (Plate 173), Wood Duck (Plate 206), Great Blue Heron (Plate 211), Snowy Heron (Plate 242), Roseate Spoonbill (Plate 321).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized. Every plate prints sharp at up to about 25 × 38 in at 300 dpi (the smallest plate; most go larger), so they suit wall art as well as A4, US Letter, A5 and smaller crafts. The plates are the original book pages, so shapes vary slightly.

Files: 16 high-resolution JPGs (sRGB), about 11,600–16,100 px on the long edge (1.24 GB total), delivered as one zip download.
