Illustrations/Articles (Pages Available For Sale)

I am against desecrating antique books for their prints. Unfortunately, in my decades of collecting I have obtained some antique books literally being held together by a thread with pages missing, loose, and falling out. Some books have also been ruined by previous owners coloring, gluing newspaper articles over the illustrations, bad stains, etc. In these cases I carefully removed the salvagable pages and am offering them here. Some have tears, stains, and tape on them, but the image areas are nice (vintage with pages beginning to yellow). These pages can be trimmed, framed, and displayed. Severely damaged pages not fit for framing are not listed here and will be used in my arts & crafts classes to create vintage collages.

Many of these pages are illustrated on both sides, so if you plan to frame them, you will have to choose.   In these cases I will show both illustrations so you know what is on both sides.  Image Titles are in quotes. Untitled images are described and the illustrator is listed when known. Please note these photos were taken with my camera phone and sometimes make the illustrations a little distorted. The approximate image dimensions are shown first (for framing), then the page dimensions. For articles, only the page dimansions are given. Page dimensions will determine the shipping method and charges as many will be oversize (larger than 9"x 12").
