That's what I think is so great about this...there are thousands and thousands of antique illustrations out there in the big ol' world, there's no way we can each uncover every single little wonder, so it's nice being able to share our findings with each other and see things that we haven't uncovered before!

I know reproduction is a polarizing subject... I usually prefer the originals of things rather then their reproductions... But, with books I think the lovely thing about taking images from the public domain is that the original books are still safely intact. No pages cut, no bindings broken.<br /><br />We hope we didn't make the idea seem like it was revolutionary. Clearly, anyone can scour the public domain for images they love and get them printed (either by themselves or from a print shop). We're looking through hundreds of books and attempting to form an aesthetic that we like and hope others appreciate. We want to share things we love with people and we think we can add enough value to turn that into something more then a blog post.the snail and the cyclopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361703110960227358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116095584579310780.post-42320933530211119042010-09-09T14:06:33.432-04:002010-09-09T14:06:33.432-04:00What a fantastic idea!

Making sure there's a clear cut answer to the copyright question is going to be important when laying the bricks later on in our shop/website. <br /><br />Part of the reason we're confident in starting this project is because Paul has had his share of professional experience working with these exact types of materials (he's been with archive.org for over 5 years!) ... And legality concerns come up frequently from folks outside of the organization. The general rule is that if something was published before 1923, then the copyright has expired, which makes it part of the public domain. Not to get all nerdy, but that's a pretty lovely thing because it then allows people to share, re-distribute, sell, etc, etc things that might otherwise be forgotten.the snail and the cyclopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361703110960227358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116095584579310780.post-15023996627442176902010-09-08T23:25:09.522-04:002010-09-08T23:25:09.522-04:00Cindy and Anonymous - in the US, any work publishe...Cindy and Anonymous - in the US, any work published before 1923 is in the public domain.
