Audubon Birds of America Vintage Illustration Pack 9, 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: Children's Warbler (Plate 35), Cerulean Warbler (Azure Warbler) (Plate 48), Blue-green Warbler (Plate 49), Cuvier's Kinglet (Plate 55), Carbonated Warbler (Plate 60), Swamp Sparrow (Plate 64), Rathbone's Warbler (Plate 65), Cliff Swallow (Plate 68), Bay-breasted Warbler (Plate 69), Henslow's Sparrow (Plate 70), Wood Thrush (Plate 73), Indigo Bunting (Plate 74), Petit Caporal (Plate 75), Carolina Wren (Plate 78).

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 (820 MB total), delivered as one zip download.
