This blog is intended to host illustrations I came across, either by chance or while doing research to document my own. Unlike the pictures on the main site, these ones don’t belong to me and I don’t own the originals. While most of them are in the public domain, it doesn’t imply that they are all free to use for commercial purpose. Please read the terms of service of the source site before incorporating them into your projects. Contact me Ce blog a été créé afin de présenter des images découvertes par hasard, le plus souvent pendant que je cherchais à me documenter sur celles que je souhaitais ajouter aux galeries. A la différence des images proposées sur le site principal, les originaux de celles-ci ne m’appartiennent pas. Bien que la plupart soient aujourd’hui dans le domaine public, cela ne signifie pas pour autant que leur réutilisation à des fins commerciales soit toujours autorisée. Veuillez prendre connaissance des conditions d’utilisations des sources citées avant de les intégrer à vos projets.Me contacterTumblr (3.0; @oldbookillustrations)http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6eokj92vc1qac76ro1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tracery from the Campanile of Giotto, at Florence.</p> <p>From <i>The complete works of John Ruskin</i>, vol. 1, New York, 1900.<br/> Via <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/completeworks01ruskuoft">archive.org</a>.</p>http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882921981http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882921981Sat, 31 Jul 2010 01:00:00 -0400j. ruskinarchitectureornamentsenglandvictorianwood engravingdecoration<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6enxf3rXN1qac76ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Traceries from Caen, Bayeux, Rouen and Beauvais.</p> <p>From <i>The complete works of John Ruskin</i>, vol. 1, New York, 1900.<br/> Via <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/completeworks01ruskuoft">archive.org</a>.</p>http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882868141http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882868141Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:46:27 -0400j. ruskinarchitecturegothicornamentsenglandfrancevictorianwood engraving<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6emrkUjwt1qac76ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Chimneys.</p> <p>From <i>The complete works of John Ruskin</i>, vol. 1, New York, 1900.<br/> Via <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/completeworks01ruskuoft">archive.org</a>.</p>http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882772308http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882772308Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:21:19 -0400j. ruskinarchitectureenglandvictorianwood engraving<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6elhlizQh1qac76ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Capital from the lower arcade of the doge’s palace, Venice.</p> <p>From <i>The complete works of John Ruskin</i>, vol. 1, New York, 1900.<br/> Via <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/completeworks01ruskuoft">archive.org</a>.</p>http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882658091http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882658091Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:53:45 -0400j. ruskinarchitectureenglandvictorianornamentssculpturewoowood engraving<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6ejqgzJsF1qac76ro1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pierced ornaments from Lisieux, Bayeux, Verona and Padua.</p> <p>From <i>The complete works of John Ruskin</i>, vol. 1, New York, 1900.<br/> Via <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/completeworks01ruskuoft">archive.org</a>.</p>http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882506807http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882506807Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:15:00 -0400j. ruskinarchitectureenglandvictorianwood engravingornamentsdesign<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6eifq0YzJ1qac76ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Arch from the façade of San Michele at Lucca.</p> <p>From <i>The complete works of John Ruskin</i>, vol. 1, New York, 1900.<br/> Via <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/completeworks01ruskuoft">archive.org</a>.</p>http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882397792http://scrap.oldbookillustrations.com/post/882397792Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:47:50 -0400j. ruskinarchitectureenglandvictorianwood engraving<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6cuv8wjrG1qac76ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Front cover of <i>The pavilion on the links</i>, by Robert Louis Stevenson, illustrated by Gordon Browne.
