Public Domain Images from Karen's Whimsy



WELCOME! :: You have arrived at the main page for my public domain images. What started out as as small gift to people viewing my art work has become a huge labor of love. On the following pages you will find hundreds of scans of beautiful images from my collection of old books, magazines, and postcards. They are all from material printed prior to 1923 and are in the public domain.

TERMS OF USE :: I hope you will enjoy using these pictures. You are free to use them in your artistic endeavors, either privately or commercially. My only request is that you not sell or give away the images themselves either individually or as a collection. I spend a lot of time searching for and buying the source material, scanning, fixing, and editing the images, and then putting them on the web. By respecting these simple terms of use, you allow me to continue providing wonderful artwork that would remain hidden between the covers of these books, decayed from age, or tossed into landfills. Read the details of my Terms of Use for more information.

LINK BACK :: Although not required, if you do find these images helpful, a link or footnote back to this page would be appreciated:

SITE MAP :: Listed below are the most recent public domain images. If you need a complete, detailed list of all the images available on this site, please go to my Site Map for Public Domain Images. Otherwise, use the menu on the left to find what you're looking for. Also, if you're searching for something in particular that you are unable to find, send me an email, and I'll see what I can do.
