- - - No wait! It’s not that easy: - All I am really interested in is late 18th/early 19th century stuff - think “Monty Python-y”. As luck would have it, I found a Dover book named “3,800 Early Advertising Cuts” (ISBN #0-486-26658-3) that is just about perfect, , , -but, , , -I want more. There’s small Dover books on other, newer eras, but they just ain’t the same. There’s a couple other Dover books on the same era: one on civil war stuff and another on womens’ fashion, but nothing else so general-purpose. In particular, finding pictures of men and mens’ fasions seems to be rather difficult. I can pay for it- I did pay for the book, but I can’t find anything else from that era that is so wide-ranging. I likely won’t buy anything that I can’t get a look at first. Any ideas? - MC ---

Did you try a search for “Victorian” clip art? ---
