Wonderful, vintage bookplate of a variety of shore and water birds. A white pelican gobbles a fish, a swan shows off it’s lovely plumage and a number of other birds all come together in this terrific copyright free bird image. There’s just so many great ways this image could be used.
A Book About Birds was produced by the Religious Tract Society of Great Britain. It contained a number of colored bird images and was first offered for sale in 1865.
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.
