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: American Pipit (Brown Titlark) (Plate 10), Blue-winged Warbler (Plate 20), Pine Warbler (Vigor's Warbler) (Plate 30), Worm-eating Warbler (Plate 34), Kentucky Warbler (Plate 38), Tufted Titmouse (Plate 39), American Redstart (Plate 40), Willow Flycatcher (Traill's) (Plate 45), Magnolia Warbler (Plate 50), Bobolink (Rice Bird) (Plate 54), Loggerhead Shrike (Plate 57), Hermit Thrush (Plate 58), Chestnut-sided Warbler (Plate 59), White-eyed Vireo (Plate 63).
Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 16,100–16,200 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 16,100–16,200 px on the long edge (788 MB total), delivered as one zip download.
Source: Hand-coloured engravings and aquatints by Robert Havell after Audubon's watercolours, from the University of Pittsburgh's full-resolution scans of the Havell edition, via Wikimedia Commons. Public domain: Audubon died in 1851 and Havell in 1878, and the plates were published 1827–1838.
