Vintage English Landscape Images
We’re starting our collection of landscape images, drawing and paintings with the beautiful English countryside from a 1911 book on traveling across England by motorcar. Many of England’s most famous landmarks are included in lovely pieces that are unfortunately not accredited to a particular painter. Though, if you are familiar with some of the artists represented, you might recognize their mark or signatures (I’m sorry but they’re simply too blurry and small in the scans for me to make out). Hopefully, someone will let me know who the artists are so that they can be recognized.
As FreeVintageArt.com grows, we’ll be hopefully adding more wonderful English landscape images for you to use in your own art.
