Barraband Toucans and Barbets Vintage Illustration Pack, 16 Printable Plates

A themed pack of 16 printable vintage plates from Jacques Barraband's toucan plates for François Levaillant's Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de paradis et des rolliers, suivie de celle des toucans et des barbus (Paris, 1801–1806), the great folio of tropical toucans and aracaris, 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: Toco Toucan (Le Toco) (Plate 2), White-throated Toucan (Le Toucan) (Plate 3), Yellow-collared Toucan (Plate 4), Orange-throated Toucan (Plate 5), Red-breasted Toucan (Plate 6), Channel-billed Toucan (Le Pignancoin) (Plate 7), Small Red-bellied Toucan (Plate 8), Tocard Toucan (Le Tocard) (Plate 9), Red-belted Aracari (Plate 10), Double-collared Aracari (Plate 11), Red-belted Aracari (old age) (Plate 12), Guianan Toucanet Male (Plate 13), Guianan Toucanet Female (Plate 14), Brazilian Koulik Aracari Male (Plate 15), Green Aracari Male (Plate 16), Green Aracari Female (Plate 17).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 5,300–6,300 px on the long edge. Every plate prints sharp up to about 13 × 17 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.
