Again: Copied from other threads into here... not my posts...

---------------------------------------------
I have just joined under a new name so I can share images in this group that don't fit in my photostream. All are copyright free.
My other photostream:

nyctreeman ALL IMAGES OK TO USE reminder

www.flickr.com/photos/47967505@N00/

I have received several emails asking me for permission to use various images in my stream.

Just a reminder: As I state in my profile, " I encourage you to download, alter, and use these images in any way you like "

The only stipulation is that images of myself and family not be used in any way that would be offensive. (like porn etc)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By vintage I mean 19th Century- 1930s
I love the 19th century look and the idea of collages from old engravings. I've got loads of photos (I have no scanner) from old copies of Punch- all more than a hundred years ago so I believe that is alright for copyright purposes. Just adding a couple here for anyone to use in paper or digital collages. If they're not suitable tell me , if they are I am happy to add more.
Ps:
If anyone is looking for engraving style images- check out my banknote set. Many of them are more than 70 years old, you are welcome to use any of them in a collage- just leave a comment on the picture if you do!

Hello all ! I have found this site www.oldbookillustrations.com/blog/ where we can find interesting ilustrations in public domain.

Laura of Portland says:
I've been lurking in this group for awhile, but thought I'd finally come out of the shadows to share one of my favorite sources for weird illustrations...the US patent office. Google has a new search engine that makes it very easy to find what you need. Check out www.google.com/patents for schematics and various line drawings of all kinds of wacky inventions, some dating back to the early 19th century.

I don't know if people are aware of this similar site so I'll post it anyway :

Good morning all ~ Wowee....what more can I say....what a wonderful idea artbychrysti to have all of this info in one centralized location!!! Love it love it a BIG thank you!

General sheet music copyright/PD information ~
> Works created after 1/1/1978 - life of the longest surviving author plus 70 years - earliest possible PD date is 1/1/2048
> Works registered before 1/1/1978 - 95 years from the date copyright was secured. (Does not apply to works registered before 1/1/1923 - act was not grandfathered).
> Works registered before 1/1/1923 - Copyright protection for 75 years has expired and these works are in the public domain (1922 + 75 years = 1997).

To my understanding and according to Circular 15t, of the U.S. Copyright Office, works published before January 1, 1923, have fallen into the public domain.

Here are a few sites with PD music sheets.....please verify sheet music publication and/or copyright date within their descriptions prior to use...plus each of these sites have their own terms of use...Enjoy & have fun!

The following link is to Penny Postcards
www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/special/ppcs/types.html

Penny Postcard site does not offer any type of information regarding terms of use of the images. Some of the images date back to the late 1800s through early 1900s. There is a contact name at the bottom of their screen that you should get in touch with about terms of use. The intent of the site is to view images not to sell cards....archival.

I have been enjoying looking at old books at "The Internet Archive" in the "Texts" section. There are a lot of illustrations, covers, decorative end papers, and grungy old paper to be seen there. When you click on a book to read it online, you can see the date and copyright or public domain status. Perhaps we could bring back images we find there to the group.

Hey there namaqua_art ~

Thanks so much for the link....super neat. In regards to sharing images from other sites to this one....we try not to do that. This group is about sharing images that we have in our own collections.

If you find other links to public domain images - this is a great place to share the URLs.

Thanks again ~ joAnne
