Fancy Letter B Images
B, the second letter of the alphabet and the first letter of a bounty of bodacious words. Beautiful poetry and boundless enthusiasm are but some of the bevy of words which start with the letter B. This group of fancy letter B images were used in printed materials primarily published prior to 1923; which places them in the public domain in the United States. They may be in the public domain in other places as well but I’ll leave it to you to do that research.
All of the fancy letter B images included here were either published before 1923 or are identified as being in the public domain by the website where I found them as being PD in the USA.
On those occasions that the fancy letter B image was published with other matching letters, those letters are identified and links to them are provided for your convenience.
As you can see, we do not have an extensive collection of B images but hopefully between what is here on FreeVintageArt.com and the 15 or so B Images on ReusableArt.com there’s something that will work for your project.
