Butterfly Garden Print Free Vintage Image

I thought you might enjoy another Victorian butterfly print.  This one is really colorful and bright, and kind of unusual in the types of plants it shows.  This is beautiful printed for wall decor or a card, or cropped for tags, or you can clip out individual butterflies to create elements and wings.  I particularly like the red and black butterfly near the middle, and the little yellow one at the top.  Have fun with this antique summertime art!

Vintage Butterflies Print

Here is a summery butterfly print for you -- hope it inspires!  Actually I'm not sure whether these are butterflies or moths, but there are pretty wings you could clip out, and I love the raspberries and wildflowers.  If you look closely you'll find a caterpillar or two -- eek!  These look really pretty framed, too, or printed as is for cards.

Tomorrow is the official first day of summer, so I'll try to find something appropriate...

Beautifully Detailed Owl Illustration


Something a little different -- a gorgeous Victorian scientific ornithological illustration of a Hawk Owl.  Owls are one of my favorite birds, without a doubt, and I love birds.  The detail and soft watercolor painting in this picture are amazing.  I hope to bring you many more birds and animals in the future!  Remember the image is large, and you can resize it very large or print it very small if needed for charms, jewelry, etc.

Mother Rabbit and Little Rabbits (Hares, Actually) Victorian Art

 I thought this title page from an antique children's book, "The Ballad of the Lost Hare," was just lovely.  I like rabbits (and hares) and this is a sweet realistic Victorian illustration of a mother and babies, with a yellow rose and lovely soft colors.
