The detail of the fruit and their amazing leaves combine together for an eye catching print or wall art.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Printing and framing your vintage illustrations couldn’t be simpler. Here’s a list of supplies and tools that you might need to make the job easier:

Downloaded the free prints
Printer
Cardstock paper
Picture frame (8″×10″ or frame with mat)
Paper trimmer or scissors

INSTRUCTIONS

1. DOWNLOAD AND PRINT

Sign up to get the free printable fig vintage illustrations using the form earlier in this blog post. Then download the free PDF and print your preferred design. Remember, choosing the highest quality settings in your printer settings will give you the best quality print.

2. TRIM AND CUT

I always recommend using nice cardstock paper for your prints. Whether you’re using cardstock or printer paper, you’ll want to cut and trim the prints using either a pair of scissors or a paper trimmer to fit the frame for your project (typically 8″x10″).

3. FRAME

Once you’ve printed and trimmed your print to the appropriate size, you’ll want to place it in a frame. If you’re using a matted frame, it may not be necessary for you to trim the print first.

More Vintage Illustrations

I sort of have an obsession with vintage illustrations. As just might be evident in the variety you will find here on The Birch Cottage blog.

Of course, you can download your own illustrations from the NYPL or other digital collections of public domain books, but you might prefer to obtain your prints here on The Birch Cottage. Why? Well, because I actually go through the process of trying to clean them up just a little so that they look at little nicer when you print them.

Here are a few of my favorites:
