This antique graphic advertisement for Dr. Lyon’s Tooth Powder came from a 1880’s magazine. I think it would look wonderful as art in a bathroom! I’ve removed the background from this image, so it can be layered over other images. Here is the original image, that includes the background. Wouldn’t this look awesome in a dentist office?

Here’s a really wonderful image from an antique business document from the late 1800’s. It was the top of a letterhead. It would make a really nice antique-style sign or image transfer. I cleaned it up, did a little editing, and cropped just the top of the letterhead. The original letter was actually written in response to a complaint from a customer about a chandelier they had purchased. Many more antique documents and free vintage images are here.
