Printable Victorian Science Illustrations for Altered Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: 19th Century Clouds

All shadows of clouds the sun cannot hide
like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide;
but a hidden star can still be smiling
at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling
― Munia Khan

So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there
that the sea and sky looked all one fabric,
as if sails were stuck high up in the sky,
or the clouds had dropped down into the sea.
― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Printable Vintage Art: Reading Biedermeier Lady by Alexander von Salzmann

Reading Biedermeier Lady
by Alexander von Salzmann (1874–1934)

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
― Charles W. Eliot

I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me
