It was definitely more than 20% untagged. My own number was 25-30% untagged,
but I had _not_ included the following in the untagged percentage:
* Drawings which clearly seemed to have been made 'for the occasion' and
  thus would be own work
* Material that was clearly older than 1900
* Flags, logos and weapons

After this, I had rounded down the number even further to allow for images
that were not tagged, but for which the origin was clear fromt the image
itself (my sample included for example two magazine covers).
