Donkeys & Mules

A growing collection of vintage drawings and illustrations of donkeys and mules. These two animals seems to get so much less attention than their cousins the horse but in some ways they seem to have more personality. Where a horse is seen as strong and beautiful, donkeys and mules are often thought of as sweet, peaceful, ornery, mean or stubborn.

As this section of Reusable Art grows, hopefully I’ll find pictures that represent all of those qualities and personality traits.
