Audubon Birds of America Vintage Illustration Pack 3, 14 Printable Plates

A themed pack of 14 printable vintage plates from John James Audubon's The Birds of America (Havell edition, London, 1827–1838), the great double-elephant folio of American birds, made for junk journals, scrapbooking, card making, collage, decoupage and paper crafts. Print them at home, cut them out and layer them into your projects. The files are full-size original scans, so they are also big enough to frame as wall art.

Plates included: Wild Turkey (Plate 6), Bird of Washington (Juvenile Eagle) (Plate 11), Peregrine Falcon (Great-footed Hawk) (Plate 16), Barred Owl (Plate 46), Red-shouldered Hawk (Plate 56), Passenger Pigeon (Plate 62), Swallow-tailed Kite (Hawk) (Plate 72), Northern Bobwhite (Virginian Partridge) (Plate 76), Whip-poor-will (Plate 82), Eastern Screech Owl (Plate 97), Common Raven (Plate 101), Whooping Crane (Plate 226), Great White Heron (Plate 281), Trumpeter Swan (Plate 376).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 16,000–16,100 px on the long edge. Every plate prints sharp up to about 37 × 53 in at 300 dpi (based on the smallest plate; most go larger), and down to A4, US Letter or A5 with no loss. The shapes vary slightly because they're original book pages.

Files: 14 high-resolution JPGs, about 16,000–16,100 px on the long edge (1.15 GB total), delivered as one zip download.
