We have released over a million images
onto Flickr Commons for anyone to use, remix and repurpose.
These images were taken from the pages of 17th, 18th and 19th century
books digitised by Microsoft
who then generously gifted the scanned images to us, allowing us to
release them back into the Public Domain. The images themselves cover a
startling mix of subjects: There are maps, geological diagrams,
beautiful illustrations, comical satire, illuminated and decorative
letters, colourful illustrations, landscapes, wall-paintings and so much
more that even we are not aware of.
So... :-)
