This week I’ve scanned in public domain and copyright free images from The Book of Knowledge Volume XVII, Copyright 1919 The Golier Society of New York and The Educational Book Co. of London. I’ve picked out pages with stories and one game.
The first illustration above is from page 5453 titled “What Games Do These Pictures Represent?”. It contains some great black and white drawings including a cat, a bat, a bird, dogs, an insect (fly), a frog and more.
Above is page 5287 of this vintage book. This page contains the beginning of the short story “The Sad Heart of A Little Trott” by Andre Lichtenberger. Included with the story is a copyright free illustration of a child, Trott.
Above is page 5288 in The Book of Knowledge. The page includes the ending of “The Sad Heart of a Little Trott” and two “The Fables of Aesop The Slave” fables, “The Dove and the Ant” and “The Dog in the Manger”. This page has two wonderful copyright free illustrations including a bird (dove) and a dog barking at a cow.
The images are all from a vintage book and should be in the public domain; therefore, they should be copyright free. I have attributed them to Creative Commons. You can click on the images in this post which will take you to the images in my flickr. You can select a size of image to download. All the images are 300 dpi.
