The British Library via Flikr now offers a huge variety and multiple albums to browse through of illustrations and art that are completely public domain and free to use! From beautiful typography, to bazaar illustrations, book covers, cycling, architecture, decorative papers, and so much more–the possibilities are endless.
I’m thinking these could be used for as prompts or for broadsides, chapbooks, web sites, etc. So many gorgeous illustrations… the only problem is how to choose!

Public domain art is surely one of the wonders of the digital world.
This is a great resource! For my blog, I’ve been using NYPL’s Digital Gallery, which you can limit the search to public domain images: http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/
Thanks!
