Hi we are Taryn and Chris, we are the owners and creators of Brooklyn Byrd Print Company.
While riffling through an old library book sale in western New York we came across a set of 1949 vintage illustrated dictionaries. We fell in love immediately. The illustrations had so much character and we loved the slightly out of date definitions. So Chris, our "Ideas Man", came up with a great idea; why not use those illustrations and definitions to inspire our own prints? The "Ideas Man" passed the idea off to the "Creator" and Brooklyn Byrd Print Company was born.
Taryn has cleaned up, redrawn and reorganized the dictionary illustrations and added definitions and diagrams to make these one of a kind prints. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing but educational as well. Now who doesn't love that double whammy?
So please take a look around the shop and see if you find anything you love. We are adding new illustrations all the time so if you don't see anything you can't live without this time please check back in soon.
Thank you for stopping by!
Taryn & Chris
