Public Domain Artwork: Animals

The images in these galleries are low resolution preview images only and therefore not suitable for printing, to download a HIGH RESOLUTION FILE of any of the images below, simply click on the desired image and you will be taken to the digital gallery archive where that image is hosted. Once there, you will be able to download a high resolution file of your image to print from.

For more information on artwork in the Public Domain, how these files can be used, best practices for printing these files and my person thoughts on the the subject, please read the information at the bottom of my main gallery page HERE.

NOTE REGARDING ARTVEE LINKS: Since creating this database, the website ArtVee (which previously offered free high resolution digital downloads of the artwork they hosted) has changed to now charge users for high resolution downloads at a fee of $9.99/month. I have attempted to update these links with alternative free sources for the same work of art, however some of them can only be found on ArtVee.com. For the time being I have chosen to leave these works of art in the gallery and indicate them by italizing and highlighting the artwork’s description.
