Supplied as a pdf for ease of printing the images are taken from a range of public domain sources (mainly 19th century books) and as they are mainly screenshots of old book pages this may be reflected in the quality of the outlines though many have been digitally enhanced to help provide an outline for colouring in. Please note that these images also appear in our larger collection of colouring pages on Gods, religion and home life.
