Public Domain Images from Webster ~ Fruits, Flags & Coats of Arms

 

Again this week, I’m uploading colored illustrations from my shabby Webster’s.   Actually with the number of illustrations in this book, I could be uploading for several more weeks.   Like last week,  all the illustrations are in color.  The illustrations this week  are even larger.  They are full-pagers.   Since they take forever to upload, I’m only uploading 3 freebie images this week.

 The public domain book is Webster’s New Illustrated Dictionary Based on Noah Webster’s dictionary, revised and edited by Edward T. Roe and Charles Leonard-Stuart.  The book was published by Syndicate Publishing Company of New York in 1911.

The first color illustration, at top, is titled Flags of All Nations.  It has a copyright of 1910 by F.E. Wright.  You can count the number of stars on the United States flag in the middle to see how many state were part of the U.S. at the time.  Looking at the flags from different countries in 1910 really illustrates the dynamic world boundaries.

 

The second image is titled Fruits and Their Blossoms.  The image has a copyright of 1910 by F.E. Wright.

 

The third image is titled Coats of Arms of the States of the American Union.  It has a copyright of 1910 by F.E. Wright.  If you couldn’t figure out what states were in the union at the time, you will know by looking at this illustration.

The illustrations are from a pre-1923 copyright book.  The images should be copyright-free.  All the images have been uploaded to my flickr page.  They have been attributed to Creative Commons.  If you click on the image, you will be taken to the image on my flickr page where you can chose the size of image to download for free.
