Ink and Paper. Prints and Illustrations from Old Books
One of my favorite things is the beautiful illustrations in old books. Opening a book and discovering the art inside is like finding a treasure chest full of gold. It takes many pleasurable hours searching to find these treasured images. This blog is a way to share the lovely old book illustrations. Please use it as a resource for free images and graphics to use in personal projects,education and most of all enjoyment!

About Me
- Name: bumble button
- Location: California, United States
The Legacy is a small, but very full thrift store. Everything has been donated and the proceeds go to the Sebastopol Senior Center. The most wonderful thing is what they specialize in; sewing, quilting , fabric, crafty stuff, yarn, books, scrapbooking, stamping, embroidery, ribbon and trim etc. It’s like a Jo-Ann’s or Michaels’ thrift store. Now onto the buttons… My last name, Bouton, is French for button. Ironically I was in charge of the button donations at the Legacy for over 10 years. A volunteer job I truly loved. Wanting to make a pretty button card to sew the loose buttons on led me to the discovery of clip art. Luckily I found "JustSomethingIMade" and "the Graphics Fairy" and many other sites. Kindred spirits! Then I realized I had 1000’s of similar images, dating to the 1700’s. Inspired, I created a blog to share all this ephemera with you creative ones. All because of buttons! And that is how Bumble Button came to exist.
