Vintage Illustrations

Magazines from the 1890s and early 1900s rarely ran an article or story that was "..continued on..." a back page. They featured the whole story, all at once, but then had a third of the last page to fill with something...and that's where I found these, in various magazines on Internet Archives. None of them are under copyright any longer, and I probably couldn't find the magazine they came from again anyway.

Aren't they cool? If you have Photoshop, these can easily be made into 'brushes'.
