Little House fan Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I just found this nifty site with copyright free images of all sorts. Would be fun for store posters, cookbook covers, jar labels etc. I even found an invitation to President Lincoln's birthday party! Hires Rootbeer had a cologne?! Oh the possibilities! Have fun!! http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/eaa/browse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uppitycats Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 That's a neat site! I'm not sure I'll use much for my dollhouses, but it's great fun to look through, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House fan Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I can picture... -an invitation on a dresser next to a lady's pair of gloves -Signage in a grocery store setting -a World War II era community center with posters or a home with ration stamps on the kitchen counter -a store selling women's beauty products -covers on cookbooks Also, there are great period photos that would be helpful in recreating a setting in a roombox, etc. Use the search bar at the top of the page to search all of their collections. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItzKathyP Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 This is all searchable by year, so I searched the year of my house, 1905. There's sheet music to lay on the piano. An ad for a new folding Brownie camera casually tossed on a table next to an older style camera. The cover of the very newest novel of that period. Just looking at fashions worn by ladies in this time period is an incredible source of information for me. This is WONDERFUL!! Thanks so much, Caroline.
