An Anonymous reader requested an Elk Image. This is from an Early Natural History Book.
Update: Well I've had a plethora of comments and emails on this one! Thank you all for your corrections, this one is not an Elk but a Moose. Here's why I made the mistake that I did. The book listed this as an "American Elk". This happens sometimes with these older Books. When I called this book "Early", I meant it! It dates to the 1700's. I'm not sure if the name of this animal changed after the book was written, or if they just didn't Proofread as much as we do now. In any case, I apologize for the mistake, I should have checked more carefully before posting this one.
Well, that's all for this time. Do you have a request for an image? If so please leave it here in the comments section of this post, then check back next month to see if I found your graphic (Sorry but I can't fill every request, I usually pick a few each time).
Hello Karen...thank you so much for the lovely images - one slightly off-note, however, is that the critter shown above is a moose, not an elk!! Patty
ReplyDeleteI was going to try to politely let you know the image is a MOOSE not an Elk. The differance is in the antlers/palms.
ReplyDeleteOh and a request for Ausralian animals i.e. kangaroo, koala, platapus, kukaburoo, etc...
ReplyDelete(Love the weather vane.) Thanks...
Thank you so much Karen, superb! :) x
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU Karen!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSUPER IMAGES today Karen!!!!!!! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThank u,love the old victor ad.Diana
ReplyDeleteThese are great images today, but your "elk" is a moose. Ooops, I guess others have already let you know that. Oh, well. :-D Love the weather vane especially!
ReplyDeleteI like the rooster weather vane best. Or maybe the gramophone ad. No, definitely the rooster. Good job!!
ReplyDeleteGREAT images. I love the moose and the weather vain.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your corrections on the Moose everyone! The book has him listed as an "American Elk". It's a very old book, probably from the late 1700's, so perhaps that's what they called these guys back then, or maybe they just didn't proofread things they way they do now!
ReplyDeleteHi, I am looking for a harlequin background image with a chateau in the forefront, as a logo for new facebook business page. I know this sounds complicated, but was hoping since you have such wonderful images, you could help me come up with something? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteKaren!
ReplyDeleteIt's Lori...The rooster weathervane is fabulous! You are the best...the very best...:D
I thought the rooster weather vane was cool. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I would like to see a black and white eagle, with split wings flying, without any prey in its peak or paws. I appreciate your offer, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently enthralled with roosters. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI think it's so nice that you do this for people, Karen. Yeah, the rooster weather vane is awesome. But the moose is fantastic! I love a big moose! Heeeheeeheee!
ReplyDeleteAs a Canadian living within yelling distance of the Canadian Rockies, I can guarantee you that is a moose. He is also on our 25 cent piece. However, none of the moose I have ever seen have legs quite that spindly haha
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen for the moose pic. This will go nicely on a card for my hunter hubby!
ReplyDeleteEobin
Wikipedia says, "The moose (North America) or Eurasian elk (Europe)", so perhaps this is an Eurasian elk?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, it is a lovely picture!
I adore the weather vane, Karen and the gramophone ad is something that is very dear to my heart. My grandpa collected gramophones, so, of course, I grew up seeing this ad too. I'll have to make something special with it in memory of my grandpa. Thank you for these wonderful goodies.
ReplyDeleteTo make you feel better about the moose/elk - in Europe these are called elk. You can google "European elk" and get all the moose images you want. In Europe, the equivalent of an American elk is called a red deer. Which is why a Norwegian elkhound was bred to hunt moose.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the images!
Love your wonderful graphics! I am looking for several images of rosy cheeked babies. Thanks, Karen!
ReplyDeleteI love request day - people are so creative in what they ask for and I always enjoy seeing them. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a fairly large piece of textured plain piece of old paper, such an a blank end page from one of your books. It doesn't have to be soiled, torn, ripped, written on, or otherwise damaged, just the old texture - can you fix me up?
Thanks!
Hi, Karen! Just found your site today...love it! I was wondering if you might be able to find images of a throne and images of basset hounds.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Good afternoon, Karen, could you help me? I've been searching for an image of a lion similar to the style you have of your circus animals (elephant, zebra, camel). I'm adjusting it to fit a wood automata that will be auctioned for a non-profit group. I really appreciate what you do. -- Sally
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI love your images and I'm finding myself with so many crafty ideas to use them! I found your whisk graphic, but would you have a chef's knife graphic somewhere? Thanks!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your sight. I am looking for gamecock images. I guess they would be called fighting roosters or fighting gamecocks. I will take any images you can find but I am especially interested in vintage ones.
Thanks so much,
Debbie
Hi Karen!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love perusing all your fantastic images! They are all so inspiring and make me want to get creative!!!
Please, as a request, I am looking for an image of a dairy goat or maybe a french advertisement for cheese! I make goat cheese using french recipes and am looking for something original to use in my own fromagerie and on labels!
Sorry, I know its a bit of a long shot but with all the magical things you find, I couldn't resist asking!
Thanks you!!
Jessie
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your site!! The darling french wreath with bee...would it be possible to color it in a french blue? Or gold? It looks beautiful on jam jars, but the additional colors would help Thank you!! Marni
Thanks Karen--and I have a request! I'd love to see some more from your encyclopedia--I'm in need of stomach graphics! A line drawing/etching/illustration in black & white would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi Karen, love the blog!
ReplyDeleteI am looking for images to use for a sandwich bar on a very old historic street, so looking for Victorian engraving type images of things like sandwiches, cakes, coffee.. anything of that sort would be great! Many thanks.
I love the sunbonnet babies images and if you had one of those to share I would love to see it. If not, no worries, I have enjoyed all the images you so generously share for years. Thanks so much for all you do.
ReplyDeleteI am planning for a wedding next summer and I'm hoping that you may have some images that I can use for the reception and/or wedding stationery. We are going to have a vintage ice cream bar set up at the reception and I am looking for vintage images of ice cream cones and/or advertising for ice cream. I found two images on your site so far and keeping my fingers crossed that you may have more at some point in the next few months.
ReplyDeleteJust redid my kitchen and am looking for some red accents. I live in Ohio and our state bird is the cardinal. I would love to see an image of this colorful bird that I can frame. our website is such a find find for me. I have used your images for many things. Thanks so much for what you do. I'll be looking for my cardinal.
