For Today’s Rabbit Hole … Old Book Illustrations

You’re working on your daily blog post and suddenly you need an image of a Eurasian Blue Tit. Who ya gonna call?

You are looking for a Gustav Dore type of image, but you’re too cheap to pay for it. Who ya gonna call?

You ask yourself “Where could I find a picture of a skeleton ice skating? I said … Who ya gonna call?

These images and a zillion more come from a book called Old Book Illustrations which learned about from our good friends at Recomendo. You can subscribe to their newsletter (free) at:
