A themed pack of 16 printable vintage plates from Johann Michael Seligmann's hand-coloured bird plates from Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel (Nuremberg, 1749–1776), his celebrated German re-engravings after Mark Catesby and George Edwards, 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: Osprey (Fishing Hawk), Swallow-tailed Kite, Northern Goshawk, Bald Eagle, White-tailed Eagle, Crested Caracara (Peacock Buzzard), Nightjar, Turaco (Cucolo affinis), Spotted American Falcon, American Black Hawk, Northern Hawk Owl, African Kingfisher, King Vulture, Long-eared Owl, Small Green Parrots, Madagascar Black Parrot. Plates are Seligmann's Nuremberg re-engravings after Catesby and Edwards; original plate numbers vary by issue, so plates are listed by English name.

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 6,200–6,500 px on the long edge. Every plate prints sharp up to about 12 × 20 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 6,200–6,500 px on the long edge (161 MB total), delivered as one zip download.

Source: Hand-coloured engravings by Johann Michael Seligmann after Mark Catesby and George Edwards, from the Nuremberg Sammlung verschiedener ausländischer und seltener Vögel (also issued as Recueil de divers oiseaux étrangers), via Wikimedia Commons (Iconographia Zoologica and related scans).
