29 Black and White Bird Clipart

Today we have a large, striking collection of Black and White Bird Clipart! These magnificent Engravings are scanned from early Natural History Books, Magazines, etc. in my collection. I just love the detail of them! We have Flying Birds, Birds Perched on Branches and on Fancy Wooden Stands, some Pairs of Feathered Friends, and a few unusual types. These would be great for your Spring Craft Projects. There is even a lovely silhouette to transfer onto DIY projects. I think any of these delightful creatures would be nice to use on some pretty Handmade Note Cards or Stationery. Many would also be fun to color in or paint with watercolors.

Flying Bird Clipart

Above we have a Bunting flying through the air. This is from a Little Birds section in an early dictionary! He has a strong, sturdy looking tail and wings. He appears to possibly be gliding through the air here. Must be fun!

This is a lovely drawing of a Swallow. It is an old engraving, also from an early dictionary. Those folded back wings sure look like they could propel the bird really fast in the air! He looks to possibly be swooping down for a meal as a ‘bird of prey’ to me.

This fellow is a Barn Swallow soaring in the sky. He looks like he is on a mission. I love the intricate detail of the wings and tail. So nicely done!

Vintage Bird Perched on a Branch Engravings

Here we have a Stock Bird Image! Above is an engraving of a charming guy perched on a branch with a delightful Pastoral scene in the background. It comes from a very early Natural History book in my collection. This book isn’t dated but my research indicated that it was published between the late 1700’s to the early 1800’s. It’s quite a rare book I believe!

This is a Sweet little Bird Illustration! Featured above is a Thrush, who is perched on a lovely Maple tree branch! This little picture was scanned from a darling Circa 1922 Children’s Bird book. It’s a fairly simple black and white drawing, but perfect nonetheless!

Vintage Bird on Stand Images

These are cute Vintage Bird on Stand Images! They show a sweet little bird perched on some sort of wooden stand. They come from a very rare Printer’s book in my collection. There’s no date in the book, but my best guess would be that it’s from around the 1880’s. Many of the pictures in the book are of children’s toys, so I’m not sure if these are meant to be a toy or the real thing.

Quirky Bird Head Graphics

Above are some quirky looking little bird heads from an old dictionary. The one on top has two curvy lines across its head and beak. Tone below appears to have several squiggly dark lines on its head, and connecting lines surrounding the outer eye.

Black and White Bird Clip art

Here we have a fancy Ladies Calling Card! This one comes from an 1880’s Rubber Stamp catalog.

The original was made for a woman named Fannie Menkey, but I’ve removed the name so that you can add your own, or whatever you like!
