the Internet Archive has upload 2.6Million – and counting – images from books dating from 1500 to 1922, effectively expanding the public domain. Collage artists also should rejoice. The metadata is pretty expansive too. Not precise, or accurate, but expansive. For example a search of the word ‘orange’ returns these results.
