Free Vintage Public Domain Illustrations of Red Meat, Seafood, and Poultry Dishes

Now I’m hungry! I just finished combing through the turn-of-the-century cookbook, “Mrs. Beeton’s Household Management”. Published in 1907, this antique cookbook comes packed with some really amazing color illustration plates of dinners, desserts, and appetizers. I came away with a lot of material, so stay tuned for more upcoming posts from this book. First up, meat! This book has some rich and colorful illustrations of butcher meat, fancy meat dishes and meat pies, fish dishes, and poultry dishes like roasts and turkey. These images make wonderful materials for culinary-themed crafts, school projects, blog images, unique vintage crafts, and many more creative projects.
