Redouté Les Liliacées Vintage Illustration Pack 3, 12 Printable Plates

A themed pack of 12 printable vintage plates from Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Les Liliacées (volume 2, Paris, 1804), his celebrated book of lilies, amaryllis, orchids and other flowering plants, 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: Striped Blue-Eyed Grass, Great Albuca, Horned Albuca, Pitcairnia Flower Spike, Bird of Paradise Plant, Reflexed Dracaena, Wood Lily, Ethiopian Antholyza, Chinese Epidendrum Orchid, Sea Squill, Fragrant Aletris, Long-Bracted Star of Bethlehem. All plates are from volume 2; each carries its original Latin name engraved below the flower.

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 8,600–8,700 px on the long edge. Every plate prints sharp up to about 18 × 28 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: 12 high-resolution JPGs, about 8,600–8,700 px on the long edge (78 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 2 (tome second), via Wikimedia Commons. Public domain: Redouté died in 1840, the engravers worked in the early 1800s, and the book was published from 1802, so it is long out of copyright worldwide.
