This is a page from an antique natural history book. This black and white illustration features beautiful graphics of deer, a moose, camels, llamas, and a giraffe. It's a lovely image, and would look wonderful if it were lightly colored.

Free Fruit Clip Art: Image of Purple Grape Bunch and Leaves, Brighton, from Antique Seed Catalog

Here's a beautifully luscious clip art of grapes from an antique seed catalog from the 1870's. If you love grape clip art, then check out this post for another gorgeous image of grapes.

Free Fruit Clip Art: Antique Color Illustration of Peach, Stump the World, from Antique Seed Catalog

Isn't this a stunner?! I found this incredible, antique illustration of a peach in an antique seed catalog. This particular peach is called, Stump the World. Hmmm. That's a very strange name, unless it was meant to describe it's deliciousness and beauty.

I've provided two versions for you. Unfortunately, part of the image ran off the page in the original, so in the second image, I've erased the leaves that were affected. But, regardless of a few missing leaves, it's still an incredibly gorgeous fruit clip art. Enjoy!

Free Fruit Clip Art: Free Raspberry Clip Art from Antique Seed Catalog

This clip art of raspberries, known as Japanese Wineberry, is a real beauty! This fruit clip art was taken from an 1870's antique seed catalog. The colors are gorgeous, making them look good enough to eat.

I was able to restore a beautiful decorative frame from this seed catalog, which is stunning as well.

Vintage Black and White Illustration: Vintage Baby's Bassinette Clipart

This vintage illustration of a baby's wicker bassinette would be perfect for decorating baby shower gifts, baby gift tags, greeting cards, or birth announcements. One idea for creating and using this digital image would be printing it out and coloring it with art chalks or colored pencils. I do this a lot, and it's so much fun customizing the illustrations this way.

And, wouldn't his bassinette illustration would make a wonderful and adorable combination with this vintage, baby clip art for a baby-themed project. Enjoy!

Vintage Graphic: Vintage Distressed Book Cover of Stencil Catalog

This was a cute little find a while back at an antique shop. I've been playing with the graphics inside the catalog for some time, digitizing them for my scrapbooking projects. And, I also thought that the distressed book cover of this stencil catalog would make a fun image to play with. I hope you enjoy.

Vintage Graphic of Horse and Wagon: Black and White Illustration

Here's a nice vintage graphic of a horse and wagon. What's especially fun about this piece of clipart is that you can customize it by adding words to the side panels. Originally, the side of the wagon sported the logo of a company, but I edited those out, giving you the choice to customize it for your purposes. Enjoy!

Vintage Graphic: Decorative Square Frame Digital Clipart

This lovely decorative square frame image was found in a vintage manufacturing catalog. It's actually a decorative mirror, but as soon as I saw it, I knew it had to be used as a frame! So, I've erased the center, converting it into beautiful frame clipart. I've also provided a .png file for your digital projects, as well as some other goodies. Enjoy!

More Baby Clip Art: Antique Illustration of Mother and Baby Pink and Blue

This is similar baby clipart to the image I posted yesterday. Of course, I found this illustration in the same catalog as I found yesterday's baby graphic. Again, I've provided the original and two, colorized versions: one in blue for a boy, and one in pink for a girl. I hope you enjoy.

Baby Clip Art: Antique Illustration of Mother and Baby Pink and Blue

It seems I'm always making baby shower gifts and children's birthday gifts for family, friends, and coworkers. And, since I've got a nephew under a year old, I'm constantly working with baby clip art, making gifts, gift tags, hang tags, and scrapbooking elements. Therefore, I'm on the constant look out for antique and Victorian ephemera of babies and mothers.

I've posted a cute image of a mother and her baby I found in an old catalog. As well as the black and white illustration, I've provided two colorized versions: one for a girl in pink, and one for a boy in blue. This antique image particularly would make a cute decoration on a gift tag. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Images of Valentine Graphics: Flowers, Romance, and Cupids

Happy Valentine's Day!! Hopefully you're putting the finishing touches on all your Valentine projects, getting ready to surprise all your special someones in your life with lovey creations. So, to inspire you one last time with Valentine images and clipart, here are four more goodies from my other site, The Antique Image, which no longer exists, of course. But, what I did post there will live on to inspire once again here on Antique Images. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Images of Valentine Graphics: Romance and Love

I used to run another clip art site called, The Antique Image, which some of you may know and hopefully enjoyed. Unfortunately, I let that site go a while back at the same time I went AWOL from Antique Images, finally deciding to delete the blog entirely. Therefore, all those lovely images aren't available any longer.

I just couldn't let those images go with contintuing to inspire all of you, so from time to time I'll be posting those images here at Antique Images for you to enjoy for the first time or all over again.

Here are a few romanic images that work so very well for Valentine's Day. These beautiful pieces of Valentine clipart are from a 1917 Italian Perfume Advertising Book that I found in an antique shop. The graphics are extradordinary! I divided the images between the two sites. You can find the other images here. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Postcard of Sailor and His Faithful Love

This is a beautiful image from an antique French postcard that I think works well for Valentine's Day projects. I know very little French, so I can't translate the phrase perfectly. My apologies for that. But, if you understand French, I'd love for you to leave the translation in the comments below. However, from what I understand, the woman is letting her Alsatian sailor know that he can always count on her having faith in his success. Now, isn't that romantic? It's a WWI, patriotic postcard, but the sentiment is loving, and I think that the image says it all. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Postcard Man Holding Bouquet of Flowers

Here's a rather charming gentleman holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers. This image is perfect for any Valentine's Day project you're planning. I just love antique postcards as sources for great antique and vintage clip art. The images are so romantic, and since it's so close to Valentine's Day, this image couldn't be any better. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Heart Die Cut Romantic Man and Woman: To My Sweetheart

Here's a newly discovered treasure! While I was organizing the last few pieces of Valentine's Day clip art, I came across this long-forgotten image. How did that happen?! I had completely forgotten about this adorable die cut. Thankfully, I had time to clean it up and provide it for you. I hope you enjoy this incredible treasure. I've provided both the front and back images, as well as both formats, .jpg and .png, of each image.

Antique French Postcard Happy Birthday Bonne Annee Man with Basket of Flowers

I love antique postcards! They have some of the loveliest images and art. This is certainly a charming image as well. This is a birthday greeting, but I can imagine that if the greeting were covered, this image could easily be used as a Valentine's Day card or tag.

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Postcard Bouquet of Pink Flowers in Basket

This is a very pretty antique postcard that I've left almost completely unaltered, including the stamp, which I think adds to the vintagey-ness of the image. And, the pretty girl and pink flowers fits with the Valentine's Day theme, I believe. By the look of her, perhaps she's got a secret Valentine she's thinking of ;-) Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Postcard Purple Butterfly Clipart

This is another recent find at a local antique shop. My heart stopped when I saw! Isn't it lovely? Butterflies arent't typyically associated with Valentine's Day, but this is just too deliciously beautiful. My first thought when I saw it was to single out that big, purple butterfly, making it a .png file and using it extensively. How gorgeous is it?!

So, I've provided you all with the whole image, as well as the .jpg and .png files for just the butterfly. I just know you're going to have lots of fun playing with this lovely image.

Valentine's Day Clip Art Antique Postcard Red Hearts and Birds

I recently found this little treasure in a local antique shop just in time for Valentine's Day. Isn't it sweet? The graphics and colors are wonderful, and I've got lots of plans for this incredible image. Actually, I've been altering it a bit with my photo editing software, having fun of course, so I've also provided two other versions of this image for you. Hopefully, they will help your creativity.

Whether it's a Valentine's Day Card, a gift tag, a hang tag, a simple decoration, or a scrapbooking element, these other versions without the words can be used for almost anything you can imagine. I hope you enjoy playing with these images.

I’d like to take a moment and say to all my followers, thank you very much for your comments and for following my blog. It means so very much to me. And, as you’ve no doubt noticed, I’ve been AWOL from my blog for a while. I apologize for the lack of attention and posts. This hasn’t been due to a lack of interest. Perish the thought! I love providing crafters and artists with fun, beautiful antique images. And, I’ve missed it.

I recently went through a drastic change in my life, for the better I’m happy to report, that required my full attention. I had some medical and health issues that needed to be addressed, and it took me quite some time to recover. Unfortunately some of my responsibilities were put on hold so that I could take care of myself. Happily, I’m through it and so much better and ready to tackle all the fun stuff once again!

Thank you again! And, I look forward to continuing providing you all with lovely, antique and vintage images for your creativity.
