Redouté Les Liliacées Vintage Illustration Pack, 16 Printable Plates

A themed pack of 16 printable vintage plates from Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Les Liliacées (volume 1, Paris, 1802), his celebrated book of lilies, amaryllis, irises and orchids, 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: African Lily (Plate 4), Jacobean Lily (Plate 5), Tiger Flower (Plate 6), Turban Lily (Plate 7), Mexican Lily (Plate 9), Yellow Day-Lily (Plate 15), Orange Day-Lily (Plate 16), Bunch-Flowered Narcissus (Plate 17), Mourning Iris (Plate 18), Lady's Slipper Orchid (Plate 19), Glory Lily (Plate 26), Crinum Lily (Plate 27), Barbados Lily (Plate 32), Guernsey Lily (Plate 33), Blood Lily (Plate 39), Nun's Orchid (Plate 43).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 8,700–8,900 px on the long edge. Every plate prints sharp up to about 18 × 29 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: 16 high-resolution JPGs, about 8,700–8,900 px on the long edge (126 MB total), delivered as one zip download.

Source: Stipple engravings printed in colour and finished by hand, after Redouté's watercolours, from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gallica) scan of Les Liliacées volume 1, via Wikimedia Commons. Public domain: Redouté died in 1840, the engravers worked in the early 1800s, and the book was published in 1802, so it is long out of copyright worldwide.
