The British Library Puts 1,000,000 Images into the Public Domain, Making Them Free to Reuse & Remix

From Open Culture:

We have released over a million images onto Flickr Commons for anyone to use, remix and repurpose. These images were taken from the pages of 17th, 18th and 19th century books digitised by Microsoft who then generously gifted the scanned images to us, allowing us to release them back into the Public Domain. The images themselves cover a startling mix of subjects: There are maps, geological diagrams, beautiful illustrations, comical satire, illuminated and decorative letters, colourful illustrations, landscapes, wall-paintings and so much more that even we are not aware of.

The last two blank pages of a little book that's been through a lot... Other than spending 6months in my back pocket, it's spent the night soaked and then frozen solid in a car park, it's been microwaved and it's been stapled back together not sure an iPad could have survived all that... #sketchbook #notebook #blankpages #VSCOcam
