A free resource that I haven't promoted in quite awhile
is the Digital Library for the Decorative Arts and
Material Culture.
http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/DLDecArts
Within it is a database of the Chipstone and Longridge
image collections of furniture, ceramics and prints. Objects
date mostly from the 18th century. The ceramics pieces
are now extensively documented with research by Leslie
Grigsby of Winterthur. The images are available for
academic research and teaching.
If you haven't been to the site recently, be aware
that we continue to add new things. Last week an
online full-text (actually "full picture" since it's all
plates) facsimile of Edward Lear's "...Parrots" (1832) was sent live.
It's has some stunning bird illustrations. Following
is one of our (M)edium size images!

If you have questions or comments, please do let
me know. We like feedback to know what is useful
and not.
