Audubon Birds of America Vintage Illustration Pack 4, 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: Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Plate 2), Red-headed Woodpecker (Plate 27), Northern Flicker (Golden-winged Woodpecker) (Plate 37), Ruffed Grouse (Plate 41), Cedar Waxwing (Cedar Bird) (Plate 43), Winter Hawk (Red-shouldered Hawk) (Plate 71), Broad-winged Hawk (Plate 91), Golden Eagle (Plate 181), Long-billed Curlew (Plate 231), Black-crowned Night Heron (Plate 236), Great Cormorant (Plate 266), Canvasback (Plate 301), Great Gray Owl (Great Cinereous Owl) (Plate 351), Great Egret (White Heron) (Plate 386).

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 36 × 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 (1.18 GB total), delivered as one zip download.
