Historical eye candy
Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Online Catalog
The Library of Congress contains a wealth of history and culture, including archives of sound recordings and websites. But its massive Prints and Photographs Online Catalog is also a tremendous resource for—wait for it—interior decorating? Yes, really. With an archive of antique drawings and photographs, including daguerreotypes and scenes of pastoral Russia, illustrated baseball cards and Japanese prints from the 1800s, there’s enchanting imagery for a range of aesthetics. Most of this historical eye candy is available as printable TIFFs—without rights restrictions—to inexpensively produce on your own computer or nearest photo lab and popped into a nifty vintage thrift-store-acquired frame. www.loc.gov/pictures.
