Free Downloads: Tons of Vintage Illustrations from the British Library

I just stumbled across a link to the British Library’s Flickr page, which has over a million (seemingly) copyright free images and illustrations available for browsing and download.

Lots of cool inspiration and resources for you next project. Someone please make me a t-shirt with that ritual mask on it.

Oh, and if you don’t know, the U.S. Library of Congress has a huge selection of copyright free art available as well.
