Looking for free, downloadable, copyright-free, vintage images for your presentations, promotional work, or personal interest?
Looking for free, downloadable, copyright-free, vintage images for your presentations, promotional work, or personal interest? There are over a million made available by the British Library on their Flickr site.
The British Library's collection of images on Flickr are taken from books it has in its collection from the 17th, 18th and 19th Century – so well out of copyright – and are vaguely arranged by theme: such as book covers, cycling, illustrated lettering,comic art, ships or children's book illustration. There's also a collection of 'Highlights' that's a good place to start if you just want a general browse.
