Anyone interested in the history of illustration, is a collage artist or simply using images as a design source will love Liam’s Pictures from old books The site houses over 1680 images scanned from old books that are mostly public domain. There are some total gems to be found in this collection so don’t miss it.
I’m glad you liked my http://www.fromoldbooks.org/“ rel=”nofollow”>From Old Books site! Thanks for posting about it.
I’m up to around 1750 images in the index now 🙂
Karen’s site is interesting too, although very different!
Regards,
Liam
Karen – I don’t mind if you share the link – links are what make the net interesting I have a general policy that if it is relavant to textiles and not spam I am happy for people to share links in the comments so – share it all you like
Hi Sharon!
Do you mind if I share a link to my web site? I have lots of free images that you can use in your art work. You can find them at http://karenswhimsy.com/public-domain-images/“ rel=”nofollow”>Public Domain Images. Maybe you can find something useful. ~Karen
I’ve bookmarked that link to go back and look at some more. The Book of Hours has some lovely embroidery inspiration ! Thanks for taking the time to post the link for us. Wonderful as usual.
Hooroo, Christine
