Feel free to use the copyright-free decorative initials displayed on these pages anywhere you'd like, however, note that those shown on these pages are small samples only and, as such, have been designed to be "transparent" on this background.

To view/copy more workable individual letters (which are in two- or three-colour versions which can be easily adjusted to work well on any colour background using standard image editing software), click on the appropriate link under each letter. To save the image to your hard drive right click (on a PC) or click and hold (on a Mac) and choose "Save Image As...". You can also download the entire set in one compressed zip file for each version through the links at the bottom of each of the pages below.
