Backgrounds & Patterns from Vintage Endpapers

Vintage books often have wonderful endpapers with fanciful and decorative designs printed on them. Most repeat and with careful editing could easily be pieced together to make page-sized background papers. Since endpapers are rarely signed or attributed to a particular artist, I am only including end paper backgrounds that were used in books published over 120 years ago to ensure that the pattern images presented here are all in the public domain.
