One of the most charming elements of Victorian books and magazines is the elegant initials so often used to begin a story or article. Sometimes these lovely initials were custom-designed to reflect the content of the text; more often, they were stock images, depicting flowers, birds, animals, people, idyllic natural scenes, ships, oceanscapes and much more. (Sometimes, indeed, these "initials" began life as a spot illustration, with a space literally carved out to insert a letter.) This collection brings you an amazing collection of these decorative Victorian initials - over 3600 in all! We bring them to you in two useful sets: alphabetical and thematic. So whether you're looking for a decorative way to spruce up your ABC's, or you're seeking, for example, a way to "say it with flowers," we've got you covered. The collection also includes a selection of words, and "letter blanks" that were designed to enable one to insert the initial of one's choice into a decorative frame.
