12 Leaf Clipart Black and White
Today we have a wonderful collection of Leaf Clipart Black and White! Below are a few gorgeous leaf illustrations from an old book of ornamental design elements. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy of this rather pricey Circa 1868 Ornamental Design Book for years. I finally lucked out and found one that had fallen apart, and the price was much more reasonable! I hope you will love the Leaf clipart images from a Vintage Field Journal Book as well. We also have some wonderful Vintage Leaves Line Art Illustrations showing sets of different kinds of Leaves. I think these would be fun to color in with some Markers or Watercolors, or perhaps to use as an Embroidery Design! Great for Classroom art too or in Fall newsletters.
Leaf Clipart Black and White Illustrations
This is a gorgeous leaf illustration! I think it is called a Meadow-rue leaf. It is from an old book full of ornamental design elements. I can see how this would be lovely as part of an ornament.
Above is a simple but beautiful a Cress leaf image! I think it is also from the book of ornamental design elements. Make sure you enlarge it to see the fine detail of the drawing.
This is a leaf from a Vintage Field Journal Book! I love the shape of this leaf. It is a Basewood or American Linden leaf. It reminds me of the skeleton leaves that were so popular for crafting a few years ago.
Shown above is a pretty and highly detailed leaf design! It is a dark pointed leaf with lovely white veining. It has so many tiny veins running all through it. Be sure to zoom in on the detail of this one.
This is a lovely Sugar Maple Leaf Clipart Picture. This comes from a Circa 1922 book. I like the delicate lines on this one.
Here is the latest image to this collection. Here’s another nice little plant drawing. I think it would work well with some of the other illustrations on this page.

Hops Plant Image
This one was scanned from a Circa 1890’s book on using Plants in Ornamental Designs. This lovely Engraving is from that book and shows a Hops Plant! This might be a good one to use for an Octoberfest Project!

This is a page from the Vintage Field Journal Book! I just love these unique and impressive tiny illustrations of leaves. Each drawing has its name underneath it. So charming!

Jeanne Crane says
These are just great, Karen! Thank you so much for all the things you post!
One question re these leaves: can you post the legends for the last 2 pics, Plates III and IV of the Vintage Leaf Clipart Illustrations which identify those leaves?
Thank you.
Karen Watson says
Hi Jeanne, I will need to see if I can dig them out. If I didn’t post them, then they probably weren’t decorative enough to use in crafts, but I will check.
Donna Grace says
Thank you so much for all the beautiful graphics. On the page of many leaves; Leaves-Printable-FieldJournal-GraphicsFairy2.pdf — what is the 3rd leaf at the top? The title underneath it is cut off. Thank you so much!
Karen Watson says
Hi Donna, I’m afraid that’s exactly how it was on the original page. Probably a printing error in the book. It looks like the first word is “Red” and then the second word maybe starts with an “S”. I don’t know if that helps you any with identifying it or not. So sorry that I don’t have the answer for you!
