The British Library has uploaded to Flickr one million public-domain images from 17th- through 19th-century books.
Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing links to the supporting information on the images. This should prove to be an excellent source of images for science bloggers, adding just that special touch of haughty British intelligence to even the most mundane post.
Everything sounds better with a British accent. Almost.
