Happy Mothers Day Pictures
One of my favorite all time Mother’s Day Images! This is a lovely, full color, Vintage Graphic of a Mother with her daughter and the family Cat! The Woman is Knitting something, with her little basket of yarn in her lap. A sweet sentimental scene with such tenderness!
This is an Antique Photo Postcard showing a Mother with her child. This is a tinted card… I love the soft colors on this card!
This is a lovely old Stock Photo of a what looks to be a Mother and Child, or it could be 2 Sisters. Such a pretty family photo that really shows the pure love that they have for each other. Such a tender smile on both of the them.
Here is a lovely Mother’s Day picture! They appear to be dressed in regency style clothing. You can see the affection that this lady has for her child!
Here is the latest addition to this collection. Here’s another charming picture. I love the soft colors on all of the florals on this one!
Mother’s Day Silhouette Images
This Silhouette shows a sweet picture of a loving Mother and Child, circa 1940’s. So charming and would be lovely on a Handmade project for Mom on her special occasion!

This black and white illustration shows a lovely Silhouette of a Mother and her Two Children, all framed up with a floral Heart. Even in though it’s a silhouette you can see the affection that she has for her children, just by her pose.
Mother’s Day Grandma Clipart
The Silhouette shows a picture of a Woman in a Rocking Chair, with a Cat at her feet. She’s peering out of a window with the word “Mother” at the top of it. This one was scanned from a recent addition to my collection, an old Circa 1941 Printer’s Catalog. This one would make a great card for a Grandmother, or mature Mom, on Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day Clipart
This black and white childhood illustration shows a darling little Girl, she almost looks Doll like to me. The Girl is holding a bouquet of flowers with a tag that says “Mother” attached.

This is a Black and White image of a Classic 1940’s Housewife! This one shows a young Mom, who appears to be Baking or Cooking. She’s got her recipe book in hand, her mixing bowl and a hand mixer. Cute!
This is a cute Retro Thinker Mom Image! This Vintage Image was scanned from a 1940′s Printer’s book. This lady has a classic 1940’s Hairstyle, she’s wearing a white Apron and she has her hand on her chin as if she is pondering something. So fun! I wonder what she’s thinking about?

Hi Karen,
What a wonderful collection of awesome Mother’s Day graphics! I adore the real photos of the Moms and their daughters or sister even. When they are muted like this, it’s even more special! They are gorgeous! I love the dancing Mom and child. I love everything about the photo – that girl looks like such a sweetie pie! All of the others are very nice as well. They all make for a gorgeous collage for Mother’s Day.
Thank you for sharing these with us! It’s very much appreciated!
Have a wonderful day!
