Interesting! I often use public-domain etchings or wood carvings in my presentation and find them by searching
"angry man site:gutenberg.org"
or
"angry man site:oldbookillustrations.com"
in Brave Search.
It works pretty reliably, but I've been meaning to make a semantic search, because I often have to mess around with the keywords to get results for some more abstract ideas.
Feedback for this site:
- FYI when a search result returns few results, the images repeat in the infini-scroll. This makes it marginally more difficult to evaluate each image, especially not knowing the exact number of hits w/o counting the number of images that haven't repeated.
- I may be wrong but it feels like there are a lot fewer images here than there can be.
- As other have pointed out, while attribution isn't leagally required for PD images, it's extremely important for many potential users as it allows them to validate the license claim you are making.
