Free Cat Clip Art: Antique Tabby Cat Die Cut from Victorian Scrapbook
What a pretty kitty! This is an awesome antique die cut of a beautiful cat wearing a blue ribbon. I've tried putting cute ribbons on my cats before; however, they don't sit there and look cute. The ribbon quickly turns into a cat toy as the cat twists and wrestles on the floor, trying to get the annoying thing off its neck ;-)Free Flower Clip Art: Antique Pansy Die Cut from Victorian Scrapbook

Free Victorian Clip Art: Godey Fashion Book Pages
I've got two images for you today from an 1859 Godey's Fashion Book. The first page shows a design of an embroidered alphabet. It's a pretty image with all the colors.

Free Antique Clip Art: 1859 Hat Fashion Head Dresses
Aren't these head dresses spectacular?! It's difficult to image what women had to go through in order to get dressed and ready for the day. The layers of clothes, the elaborate fashions, and the strict code of modesty and decency made the morning ritual a production in itself. These hats, or head dresses, were incredibly beautiful and certainly topped off the gorgeous dresses worn at that time.

I've listed my first couple of pieces of antique clip art in my Etsy store! Hooray! I've begun with some fruit and flowers.

Here's a gorgeous piece of fruit clip art! It's a delicious apple called a Red Beitigheimer. This image is from an antique seed catalog that I've had for quite a while. I've given you both the .jpg and .png files.
Actually, this piece of clip art is in celebration of me reopening my Etsy Store, The Antique Image. It's taken me quite a while to reorganize and finally decide what I wanted to do, but it's finally here.
I'll be selling my very best antique image of all sorts, fruit, flowers, black and white illustrations, and lots more. I'll begin offering the images starting tomorrow!
My other free clip art blog, The Antique Image will become my Etsy Shop's blog, but I'll still post free clip art there as well from time to time. I'll also begin posting shop updates and creative ideas using some of my clip art.
I've been planning this for a long time, and I'm so excited to get started! I hope that you enjoy the changes, and don't worry, I'll still be posting lots of free clip art goodies here at Antique Images.

Free Advertisement Clip Art: Black and White Illustration of Antique Advertisement
Here's another antique advertisement example similar to yesterday's image. I've experimented a little with this one by coloring in certain areas in my photo editing software. I've done this before with other black and white illustrations, but I really didn't like how they came out. However, this image is just perfect for color! And, so is this one. I think it's the tone of the image that helps the color look so pretty.
This is an idea that helps give new life to old, black and white images and illustrations. I've given you the original, as well as my version, so you can use whatever colors you want. But, the original is beautiful by itself too.
