Too often rubber stamps -as sold in art stores or in craft sections -are simply clumsily made, clip-art representations that all have the same look and feel. The Webster's Dictionary stamps are exactly the opposite. These are actual historic engravings, complete with all the details of line execution, shading, and perspective, available to use for anyone with access to an ink pad. The images offer a wide variation for picture and size choices, and aren't just "vintage looking," but are the real thing.

Normally, I avoid rubber stamps. But these are gorgeous miniature engravings, and I wait impatiently for Chronicle Books to issue further sets.

At first I was a little disappointed when I saw the stamps they are not the usual stamps with the nice wooden top we all know and love. However, upon playing with a set of the stamps that magically found its way into my back pack about a week ago, I definitely changed my mind. The foamy blocks produce the same quality image when printed, but are more accessible and less intimidating than traditional stamp blocks. This is important both for children and grown ups who will use them and the images themselves are so versatile that they can be used on anything from children's craft projects to handmade wedding invitations.

I can't pick my favorite stamp I love the little snail, and the elegant giraffe and portly pumpkin and the cozy family of mushrooms. It is such a treat to have a chance to incorporate those historic engravings into my own art projects! Each stamp has a story in it, and by looking long enough they come to life. I also love looking through the book they came from and finding the stamp images hidden in the pages.

I hope more stamps get made I can imagine a set of different fish as well as one of machinery and bicycles and sail boats. They can be used as great teaching tools in lower grades as so many words and pictures are available for each letter.

The stamps are beautifully detailed, but they aren't wood mounted (as I assumed stamps of such price and quality would bemaybe I didn't read all the details before purchasing). I need to separate them from their foam and trim them.

Honest reviews on Pictorial Webster's Stamp Set

I bought the stamp set because the images were so beautiful. Here comes the disclaimer. When one uses the stamps to print, the edges of the stamp block show . Seems a shame to have such great images and demean them by cutting them in such a way that the edges show. It makes them look like bargain store items. Pictorial Websters Stamp Set amazon purchased

These stamps are great! They are so detailed that when you see them on paper, it's hard to believe a stamp created the image! Lots of the reviews warned that edges can appear when you use a stamp pad so I ordered some special markers to color in the image instead--perfect image without the edges!
