free vintage advertising - women's spring fashions

This ad for women's spring fashions is a treasure; I've included the untouched original, plus two more versions with some of the damage repaired, and the ad text removed, so you can use it as a scrapbook frame, or in other crafting projects. Enjoy! - Judy

Free Vintage Graphic - Pretty Stage Diva

Isn't this sweet? Her outfit says actress, but her expression says innocent. I love the overall effect. Use this to create  your craft projects, or dress up your website. Enjoy! - Judy

Vintage Advertising Poster - Chiclets Chewing Gum

I remember my mother ALWAYS had a little box of chiclets in her purse; they made it smell so nice when she opened it. And if I was VERY GOOD, she would let me have one - joy! I'm delighted to be able to share this free graphic with you - Enjoy! - Judy

Free Vintage Graphics - cigar box labels

I discovered these images in an old book (where else). I love the intense colors and over-the-top details. Besides their historical value, the images could be used without the type, to decorate your paper crafts or other projects.  Enjoy! - Judy

Vintage Graphic: Late 1800's Darling Diva

Isn't she a hoot?! Such a dramatic pose. She seems to be either singing, or perhaps she is performing. I think she's delightful! Enjoy - Judy

Another lovely woman, this one is seated, and seems to be taking dictation. Enjoy - Judy

One Graphic three ways; I like to include tinted versions along with the original b/w image, to stimulate the creative genius in you! - Judy




Beautiful Vintage Frame with Dancing Ladies

It isn't often that I come across an image that excites me as this one has. I love the graceful lines of the costumes and use of feathers, that remind me of peacocks, and the joyful feeling the dancers portray. I'm sure you'll think of some creative ways to use this graphic.
Enjoy! - Judy

Vintage Typography

This sheet of upper-case letters is incomplete by today's standards; but it was printed when it was common to leave out certain letters and spelling was altered. Still, there are uses for them, and I thought they were too pretty to ignore. - Judy

Amusing Vintage Graphic: Gentleman on Bicycle

This is an unusual image. The bicycle has no pedals, and the gentleman must "walk" the vehicle! I suppose the advantage would have been that he could coast on a downgrade, but what about stopping?! Jump off??!! Anyway, it will be fun  to think up ways to use this interesting graphic.

Vintage Image: Gramaphone

This is a classic style old gramaphone, with the horn and crank. I can almost hear the music on the old black disc. I wanted to bring you both the original image as I found it, and a cleaned up version with the background removed, and then a tinted copy. Hope you can use them! - Judy
