Sweet Summer Strawberries

I've got a beautiful new set of Victorian Images up on Etsy and ArtFire...
Sweet Summer Strawberries.  Its a small set, only three images, but I think you'll agree that they are really scrumptious.  These images come from a Victorian chromolithograph that had extensive damage.  I have painstakingly restored them and extracted two of the berries to stand alone.  I can see a million uses for these cute little berries.

This is a much smaller version of one of the berries included in the set...still pretty nice, though.  This berry will print at about 2" wide.  The berries included in the set are nearly twice that size!

Victorian Schoolchildren Silhouette

I love this little illustration from a Victorian book of children's tales. I've cleaned it up a bit and removed the background so you can place it on whatever paper you'd like. It would make a great addition to a back to school scrapbook!

Girls on a Swing

Hello Spring!  Since I'm craving an afternoon at the park I thought I'd share this lovely image of little girls playing on a swing set. Isn't that where we'd all like to be?

This image is a .png digital stamp, perfect for a number of digital scrapbooking, card making, and crafting projects.  Have fun!

Colorized Girl with Puppy Dog

Cleaned and Colorized

Original Scan

I found this image in a badly worn book of children's stories.  The paper was yellowed and brittle with lots of stains (looks like coffee, but who lets their kids drink coffee?).  This particular image of a little girl and her dog was too cute to let go, so I have painstakingly cleaned it and added color to the plate.  I've included both the original scan and the cleaned and colorized final image.

Victorian Woman with Vibrating Contraption

This peculiar device is the "New Life Vibrator" and this image from the "Health and How to Get It" suggests one of many possible uses.  This beautiful young woman is treating her dandruff by massaging her scalp.  The book also suggests that one might use the vibrator to reduce headaches, but somehow it seems more likely to cause them!

A larger version of this file as well as 49 other images of Victorian medical treatments and contraptions are available in a package on PassionFruitsImages.Etsy.com and PassionFruitsImages.ArtFire.com.

Victorian Man with Mustache

I recently came upon a trove of these fellows, dignified Victorian gentlemen with lovely mustaches. They all have pronounced newspaper printers dots which I think add to their charm.

Victorian Atomizer

This odd little image comes from the pages of a 1908 guide to home health care. There is some creepy stuff in this book!

This image of a Victorian era atomizer has been carefully edited to create a digital stamp with transparent background. Its offered here at a nice large size. More of these odd little images will be available at PassionFruitsImages.Etsy.com and PassionFruitsImages.ArtFire.com very soon.

Victorian Owl

Here is a cute little owl for your projects.  He was heavily adapted from a turn of the century Victorian trade card and I have included here both the original image and a nice, large sized version of the final edited image.

Victorian Pansy Girl

This beautiful little Victorian scrap comes from a french scrapbook from 1901. 

Victorian Child with Kittens

This pretty image comes from a Victorian Scrapbook from France.  One of the cuter pictures of cats I've seen.  This image has been carefully digitally "clipped" to remove the background and made available at a rather large resolution.

Bird in the Nest

I love this little bird with his three speckled eggs. This cutie comes from one of my collection of Victorian Scrapbooks. I'm offering him here as a .png file with a transparent background at rather large dimensions. He'd make a great decoration for a new home or new baby themed project.
