Animal prints from children's storybook illustrations - Benjamin Rabier

A new zazzle store opened this weekend with beautiful full-color prints by French artist Benjamin Rabier (1864–1939), who was the first to create an animal cartoon published in a newspaper. He was the artistic inspiration for Herge to create the Tin Tin series of books. Rabier himself illustrated dozens of children's books with realistic drawings of his animals and characters.

Beatrix Potter + Benjamin Rabier in the #publicdomain #storybook

Dozens of new artists entered into the public domain this year. Check the list of 2014 public domain artists at wikipedia, and the Public Domain Day website to see more.

The work of Beatrix Potter (1866 – 1943) is not under copyright this year (in most cases). You can see my (brief) reviews of the best Beatrix Potter titles available on archive.org, all with high-quality graphics. eBooks can be downloaded to your tablet computer to read with the kids at night.
• The tale of Tom Kitten is a pop-up book, but the graphics are excellent
• Tom Kitten (Short version) "Beatrix Potter Board Book series (1996)"
• The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse - Insects
• The tale of Benjamin Bunny
• The Tale of the Pie and the Patty Pan (HTML only)
• Cecily Parsley's nursery rhymes [Personal Favorite]

The next generation: Flopsy Bunnies. Charming, and brutal. Mr. McGregor want to chop off their heads!

The tale of Benjamin Bunny

It only took me a while to figure out that "Histoire de Pierre Lapin" was not a book about a historical figure by the author, but Lapin is the French word for Rabbit (doh).

These drawings by French artist Benjamin Rabier are also in the public domain.  I fell in love with the images and added alphabet letters to make these items on Zazzle. Rabier released an alphabet book of animals, and several other publications over his lifetime.

The moth is the butterfly's closest relative, yet there is a persistent notion that moths are not as colourful as butterflies. Actually, moths far outnumber butterflies in species diversity and they exhibit colours and forms that are quite fascinating. The selection of moth images on these pages bears testimony to this fact.
