THE POULTRY BOOK 1904. THIRTY-SIX IMAGES ON COMPACT DISC WITH THIRTY- SIX PLATES IN COLOR BY BY HARRISON WEIR DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY: NEW YORK |
This CD presents 36 high resolution digital BMP images from the 1904 edition of THE POULTRY BOOK. These images can be printed directly from the CD or imported to Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, PaintShop Pro, Adobe PhotoDelux, PrintMaster and other popular painting and drawing programs and printed on quality inkjet paper producing stunning results suitable for framing. Or for designing your own greeting cards, posters, brochures and calendars.
The original production of THE POULTRY BOOK (also available on CD) was published. Thirty-one years earlier. The illustrations were also by Harrison Weir. The plates which appear in the New Edition are completely different from those found in the earlier editions. Harrison Weir was well known as a painter of poultry and cock-fighting portraits.
The print out size is the same size as the originals, if not enlarged or reduced. I have found that these Images print best on Ink Jet matte paper. When printed directly from the CD, they are the actual size. (The same as the originals) and the result is an awesome print almost indistinguishable as a reprint, even when using a relatively inexpensive home ink jet printer. If Image permanence is a concern, these digital images will also render beautiful professional quality prints when professionally printed on acid free paper using the Giclée (jhee-clay) printing process. This printing process is very stable, giving fade & color shift resistance of 75 years on watercolor paper under average indoor light conditions.
