My nostalgia meter goes through the roof when ever I see the flower illustrations of Pierre-Joseph Redouté. This collection of 48 hi-res PNG transparent images were painstakingly crafted from Redouté's original, "Les Liliacées," (Paris, 1805-1816).

A note about public domain usage: The original images are in the public domain under the laws of the United States. Public domain is a designation for content that is not protected by any copyright law or other restriction and may be freely copied, shared, altered and republished by anyone.

48 Beautiful Illustrations!

The collection covers most of the premier tome of "Les Liliacees." These PNG files are cut-out and transparent, they can be used in any design layout for digital, web or print. Each is image is approximately 3900 × 5400 pixels. The images come in three different color ways:

Original Color Images: The scanned color of the original stipple engravings
Black & White: The original color desaturated
Sepia: The original color desaturated and converted to sepia brown hue
All flowers have their original scientific names as their file names.

Other things to consider...

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: You will need Adobe InDesign to use the templates. The PNG images can be used in any software program (Microsoft Office, Google Docs, Pages, Adobe Creative Suite, Web, etc.)

FLOWER NAMES: I did my best to maintain all scientific (latin, Linneaum) naming conventions to the original source, but I cannot confirm that all names are correct.

Happy designing!
