These high-res scans of vintage printed and handwritten text can be used in a wide variety of mixed-media projects: put them down for backgrounds or rough tear for embellishing and that ripped wallpaper look that is so evocative. Please note that you may want to resize these images. (I like them quite a bit smaller. You may also need to print some images in landscape rather than portrait mode.) They include:

• French handwritten doc 1831
• Welsh text 1848
• Swiss German textbook page 1912
• Latin 1854
• French dictionary 1842
• Maths table (Warnes) 1854
