Reusable Art : Backgrounds & Patterns : Asian Background Pattern

Asian Background Pattern

This wonderful Asian-inspired background paper is full of great Oriental images from dragons to temples, to flowers and people. This one would be a little harder to make larger but there is a definite repeat here. This great printable background pattern was included in a book from 1879 so it is likely in the public domain. The book was The Boy Travellers in the Far East :: Adventures of Two Youths in a Journey to Japan and China from 1879 which was published in 1879.

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.
