Free Vintage Clip Art - Vintage Scott Joplin Song Sheet Cover

Scott Joplin Song Sheet Cover

Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist and became known as the King of Ragtime.  The Maple Leaf Rag was one of his first hits and was ragtime's most influential composition.  His Maple Leaf brought him fame.  The income from sales of the Maple Leaf Rag brought him 1 cent per sale and a steady income for the rest of his life. 

Scott Joplin died in 1917 at age 49 of complications from syphilis.  His music was rediscovered in the 1970's with a resurgence of ragtime and was featured heavily in the movie The Sting, which featured his song The Entertainer.  He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize posthumously in 1976.

Free Vintage Clip Art - More Vintage Backgrounds

More Vintage Backgrounds

Lady Mary Elizabeth Bennett introduced the pansy to the world in 1812 by cross breeding a large variety of plants and came up with the pansy.  The next year two horticulturists continued to cultivate the pansy.  By 1833 there were 400 kinds of pansies available to gardeners.

Pansies are hardy little plants and are even available here in the Pacific Northwest as winter pansies that continue to grow and bloom during our mild winter months. 

When I discovered this lovely pansy background I knew I had to share it

Pansies are my favorite flower

Free Vintage Clip Art - Eastern Bluebirds


Eastern bluebirds are often seen sitting on telephone lines or atop a birdhouse.  The males have the more brilliant royal blue on the backs of their heads and the red brown feathers on their chests while the females wing feathers are tinged with blue.

Eastern bluebirds are thrushes with a big rounded head and large eyes.  They use nesting boxes and old woodpecker holes.  They can often be seen dropping to the ground from their perch on telephone wires to grab an insect.
