About:
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.
