Free JSIM Vintage Alphabet Images

Flipping through a few old/rare books in my art library looking for things to share, I scanned some excellent old alphabets to use in your design, art, or craft projects. Click on the images enlarge for the taking. Some you may be able to click on again for even larger files. Manipulate them with image editing software, and/or print out and use them for crafting. Remember, as well, the fine art of tracing, which comes in very handy for customizing words from those interlocking lowercase script letters. If you make something cool with any of the alphabets, be sure to let me know. I love to see the things you make. Enjoy-
