Antique Rhinoceros Image- Free Clipart Image

Hey guys! I went to an estate sale this morning and found a few antique books from the late 1800's - 1920's that were falling apart but perfect to use for the blog. One of the books is called "Wood's Natural History" from 1899. It includes all sort of different animal images and I really love this rhino profile. I've posted the original image here with the original colored paper and one that is just black and white.

Antique Photograph- You Can Call Me Al

I went to an estate sale this past Friday and picked up a few antique photographs, a couple of Mother's Day cards (I will show those soon) and and 1920's game. Although it was really crowded and the wait to get in was 30 min. I have to say the sale was a success! Here is one of the photos I purchased. On the back there was a name written as (I think) Al Carsau. So yes, you can call this handsome gentleman, Al!

Vintage Advertisement- Wool Raincoat

Here is today's image. It is slightly inspired by waking up this morning with dark cloudy skies outside and the hope of rain. Doesn't look like it's going to happen however- the clouds are already dissipating.

Happy 2012 and a Fresh Start

Happy 2012 everyone! I'm back after a brief hiatus of posting new images. Whew! Was that a crazy Christmas or what? I hope to bring you many more free images this year and grow this blog bigger than before! One of my goals this year is to learn more about you- my fellow vintage image collectors because this blog wouldn't be so popular without you! Would you be willing share a little about you and how you are using the images I provide? Do you have a blog you would like to share? What would you like to see from The Vintage Moth in 2012? Feel free to post these answers or anything else in the comments section. I look forward to hearing from you! -Sarah

Vintage Clip Art- Telegraphing Tuesday

This is a really cool image of an 1800's "call center."  Looks like even back then, their supervisor walked up and down the isles to make sure that people were working.        -Sarah

The Programme






If you look closely, the essay on the second page is titled 'Black Spiders'. I thought that was fitting for the upcoming holiday of spook.

Yesterday I visited my aunt and she gave me an antique photo album to scan. Yeay!! Like a child in a candy shop! Soooo... I have about 60 new images for you! Over the next few weeks I'll post them. Now, I can give her the album back and she'll let me take another.. and another.. and another.. you cannot begin to imagine the amount of antique images, postcards, letters, and ephemera that she has! Wooohoooo!!
