Finding curated public domain images

This article discusses the challenges of finding high-quality public domain images, particularly woodblock and lithographic illustrations from the late 1800s. The author critiques common sources like Google, Bing, and library sites for being overwhelming, slow, or poorly curated. Instead, they recommend for-profit curation sites such as The Public Domain Review, Artvee, and Heritage Type, which offer quality collections and support their work through selling prints or design assets. The article provides practical tips for bloggers and content creators seeking public domain visuals.
