Audubon Birds of America Vintage Illustration Pack 6, 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: Harlan's Hawk (Black Warrior) (Plate 86), Florida Scrub-Jay (Florida Jay) (Plate 87), Steller's Jay (Columbia Jay) (Plate 96), Eastern Bluebird (Plate 113), Brown Thrasher (Ferruginous Thrush) (Plate 116), Mississippi Kite (Plate 117), Northern Goshawk (Plate 141), Greater Prairie-Chicken (Pinnated Grouse) (Plate 186), Gyrfalcon (Labrador Falcon) (Plate 196), Great Black-backed Gull (Plate 241), Tricolored Heron (Purple Heron) (Plate 256), Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Plate 336), Northern Harrier (Marsh Hawk) (Plate 356), Snow Goose (Plate 381).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 15,900–16,100 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 15,900–16,100 px on the long edge (1.04 GB total), delivered as one zip download.
