Images are clean and clear (all are line art, NO half-tones) and can easily be scanned, sized, cropped or even colored. I recognize some of the art to be either directly from, or in the style of, a wide range of milestone artists like Johann Weinmann (18th cen botanicals), Giambattista Pergolesi (17th cen classical motifs), Thomas Bewick (late 18th cen woodcuts), C. F. A. Voysey (Arts and Crafts period), and Alfons Mucha (Art Nouveau), and more.
