from 1904.
Are they not the most beautiful, vibrant scientific plates? I love the symmetry of each print.
These are on the Wikimedia Commons, which means they can be freely reused without permission. In other words? Go crazy. I want to see these printed and framed around someone's office. What about using them for a bathroom? (Something about having scientific prints up to study while taking care of life's necessities appeals to me... )
What about using them for fabrics? Printed on pillows? Screened onto plates? Someone more crafty than I should do *something* with them -- and then send me pictures and links to share...
Go see the whole collection -- one is sure to appeal.
Oh, these are gorgeous! Wiki also has some lovely old watercolors of herbs and vegetables - I downloaded one of fenugreek. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteooooo, hey are these free for copyright purposes and such because I do a lot (a lot of a lot) of crafty things from time to time and was wondering if I could use these in a line of items that I'd make and or sell?
ReplyDeleteRoving Jack -- that is the case. Make away!
ReplyDeleteWhy do they give scenic design majors access to a plotter? The temptation is so great . . .
ReplyDeleteJust reading my second book about the Fawcett expidetions into the Amazon in the very early 1900's. The Victorian era was certainly one for appreciation of the natural world AND the new machine age. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
ReplyDeleteWoah!! Thankyou for this, I'm bound to make something out of them soon.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! (now I need to find a source of free botanical prints!)
ReplyDeleteWow, Gorgeous!! Love each of them...
