Audubon Birds of America Vintage Illustration Pack 5, 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: Purple Grackle (Crow Blackbird) (Plate 7), Purple Martin (Plate 22), Black-billed Cuckoo (Plate 32), Cooper's Hawk (Stanley Hawk) (Plate 36), Orchard Oriole (Plate 42), Summer Tanager (Summer Red Bird) (Plate 44), Chuck-will's Widow (Plate 52), Red-winged Blackbird (Plate 67), Belted Kingfisher (Plate 77), Black Vulture (Plate 106), Blue Grosbeak (Plate 122), Bald Eagle (White-headed Eagle) (Plate 126), Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Plate 127), American Kestrel (Sparrow Hawk) (Plate 142).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 16,000–16,200 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 16,000–16,200 px on the long edge (1.04 GB total), delivered as one zip download.
