Victorian Curiosities: The Colossal Collection

Step right up. The curiosities have arrived.

Welcome to Victorian Curiosities, a collection inspired by the wonderfully strange world of vintage postcards, travelling exhibitions, sideshows and early 20th-century photography.

Volume 01, The Colossal Collection, celebrates larger-than-life characters with plenty of personality, theatrical poses and wonderfully peculiar occupations. From strongmen and sporting ladies to elegant society figures and delightfully unusual characters, this collection brings a whole cast of vintage-inspired personalities to your digital craft table.

And no, they weren’t designed to stand politely in the background.

These characters are made to take up space.

Each character has been carefully created as a full-body transparent PNG, making them easy to mix, layer and arrange in your own projects.

Perfect for:

• Junk journals
• Digital scrapbooking
• Collage art
• Vintage ephemera projects
• Printable crafts
• Digital planners
• Greeting cards
• Invitations
• Art journaling
• Mixed-media artwork
• Altered art
• Creative storytelling
• Vintage-inspired compositions

 

What you get

A collection of high-resolution PNG character elements with transparent backgrounds, ready to drop straight into your designs.

No background to remove.
No Victorian photographer glaring at you from behind a curtain.
Just the characters, ready for whatever wonderfully odd project you have planned.

A little vintage oddity for your collection

Inspired by the visual language of historical curiosities and early photographic postcards, Victorian Curiosities is not intended as a perfectly accurate historical archive. It is a playful artistic interpretation of an era fascinated by unusual people, spectacular bodies, eccentric characters and anything considered worthy of putting on a postcard.

The Colossal Collection is the first volume in the Victorian Curiosities series.

Collect them. Arrange them. Give them a story.

Because every good junk journal needs at least one person who looks like they have an absolutely fascinating backstory.
