Library of Congress: “My Sweet Doggie”
Once again, we have been inspired by the images from the Library of Congress. While our previous interest was with photos of pushball scrimmages, the LOC has better grouped their images, and added a set of cover pages from the New York Tribune illustrated supplements. Starting at the beginning of the 20th century, these supplements give a taste of newspaper illustration a hundred years ago.

Nice source of inspiration. Do you know if images in the Library of Congress fall into the public domain?
it’s a good question, and quite honestly, i don’t know the answer for sure. however, in flickr on the right side is a note for the few that i just clicked through that says “No known copyright restrictions”, which leads me to believe that they are in fact in the public domain.
