Do you know that there are 11 more great letter images that match this one? This copyright free fancy letter D image with scrollwork is one of a set of 12 publisher’s drop cap images we found. This group of letter images is a bit different as a very common block letter design is enhanced by a bit of doodle-like artwork on the top and bottom.
The rest of the set includes the following letters: A, C, G, H, I, J, M, O, P, T and W.
This set of fancy letters were all used in the 1881 book How a Little Boy Learned to Be Wise and Good. It was written by Helen Cross Knight (1814-1906). These images are most likely from the publisher Thomas Nelson and Sons.
This image is copyright free and in the public domain anywhere that extends copyrights 70 years after death or at least 120 years after publication when the original illustrator is unknown.
