British Library posts 1m copyright-free images online
Boing Boing: The British Library has posted over a million copyright free images taken from books prior to 1900 on Flickr. That means if you need decorations of virtually any type for a website or book, you’ll find more than you can imagine among these visual riches.

I've been following that Flickr account for a few months. They post most every image in the books, even the decorative scrolls.
Yet another time sink...
Meanwhile the NYPL has done something similar, buy which goes beyond images from books:

We'll never need to leave home again.
