INSTANT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD (please note, these are large files and may take a minute or two to download) Hi-Res, Editable, Royalty-Free These images are scanned from colour plates in the ten-volume “Children’s Encyclopaedia” edited by Arthur Mee and published by The Educational Book Company Limited, London. There is no date of publication, however the style and content put it somewhere in the 1930s, before the Second World War. The original colour plates were mechanically printed using rotary offset machines, with a separate pass through the rollers for each colour. You can just about see the fine dots of colour and the odd smear of ink if you zoom into the scans. You also see the texture and inconsistencies of the original paper, and a slight shadow down one side where the prints were bound into the book. The original printed pages measure 6.5 inches X 9.5 inches. YOU WILL GET: Four 300 dpi PNG files, each measuring: height approx. 2800 pixels X width approx. 1900 pixels, file sizes vary between 11.5 and 12 MB They can be printed off directly onto good quality archival matt paper to make fine prints to frame. Easily convertible to JPEGs You can also manipulate PNG files on a graphics editor like "Photoshop" or "Paint" to create your own digital artwork, or cut out elements for digital decoupage and scrapbooking without losing quality or resolution.
