Most images are winter themed although some good pass for Christmas (there is no overtly Christmas theme, but some characters with holly or festive plants. No Santa or Rudolph,etc.
All images are 300 dpi, png. Images vary from 1" to 8" but most can be adjusted for print and web. This set includes 50 images that range from 1" to 10" in color, grayscale, and B/W. Due the nature of the images, most clip-art pieces are available in only one version. Images are drawn, painted, or photographs. Some images are taken from ancient or vintage sources, others from academic. All images are 300 dpi, png.
Background:
While viewing public domain images for references, I found myself in awe of the beauty, precision, and uniqueness of these spectacular images. It seemed to be a shame that many of these timeless images would go unseen when they had so much to offer students, crafters, enthusiasts, and teachers. While there were many fantastic pictures available, most needed a variety of edits and touch-up work to be suited for reuse. I decided it would be worthwhile to restore and share my "Found Treasures" in a format that would be better suited for projects.
