1,000,000 Free Images For Your RPG
The British Library have uploaded over a million public domain images to Flickr. They all come from 17th-19th century books and magazines.
The bad news is they are completely unlabelled and cannot be searched in a meaningful way. All they have on the images is the book or work they came from but even searching on this seems broken. The British Library plans to launch an app which crowdsources tagging and labelling next year but until then, it is lucky dip time.
