After spending a few weeks picking my jaw up off the floor, I think it is safe to say that I was not prepared for the out pouring of love that The Public Domain Print Shop would receive around the internet since it launched a few weeks ago. NOT. PREPARED.
It has been an incredible experience to see the communities response, not only to the gallery itself, but also to the desire to do better, and be better in regards to crediting original artists and making sure their name stays attached to their work, even if they aren’t alive to know the difference themselves. (We don’t take books in the public domain, repackage them, remove the authors name and give it a new title then sell it on, so why are we ok doing that with a painting or a drawing?)
As a THANK YOU to everyone who has so lovingly shared the print shop around the internet and showered it with such kind words of affirmation, I have decided to keep expanding the gallery by adding new art drops to the shop on a semi-regular basis!
But how to decide what to add next!?
Well this first drop I based on what I saw you clicking on most in the gallery! And from my back end data it was VERY CLEAR that the people wanted FLOWERS. I ran with that idea and expanded it into a full “Botanical” gallery filled with plants, flowers and flora of every color shape and size for your printing pleasure! So say hello to:
THE BOTANICAL GALLERY
Here’s just a little sneak peek at some of the artwork you’ll find in the full gallery!
NOTE: These are preview images only, to download the high res files of any of the images above, please visit the main gallery HERE.
For more information on artwork in the Public Domain, how this stilllife art can be used, best practices for printing these free artwork downloads and my personal thoughts on the public domain artwork, please read the information at the bottom of my main gallery page HERE.
Please note that this is my personal curated collection of vintage floral paintings and only the merest drop in the bucket of what is available in the public domain. If you want to hunt for your own free printable vintage artwork in the public domain, you can find my list of favorite sources here!
Lastly, since it seems we’ll be doing this fairly regularly now what sort of art do you want to see more of in the next drop!? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy art my friends!

I’m new to your website but loving all the information you shared. I absolutely LOVE that you credit the original author and long after they’re gone. There’s nothing better than paying homage to someone who had such a gift. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us readers. I am truly enjoying the botanicals. I will be using some in my daughter’s new room and I think it will just give it an elevated look.
