## Additional Information
### Dataset Curators
The Old Book Illustrations collection is curated and maintained by the team of the [Old Book Illustrations website](https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/).
### Licensing Information
[Old Book Illustrations](https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/) website reads:
>We don’t limit the use of the illustrations available on our site, but we accept no responsibility regarding any problem, legal or otherwise, which might result from such use. More specifically, we leave it up to users to make sure that their project complies with the copyright laws of their country of residence.

The Old Book Illustrations webmaster mentioned that most images are public domain in the US and Europe, but there can be some exceptions. An example are the illustrations from [*Early poems of William Morris*](https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/titles/early-poems-of-william-morris/) as the illustrator died 1955, so her work is not public domain in Europe as of 2022, or [*Under the hill*](https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/titles/under-the-hill/) which was published in the US in 1928 and therefore is not public domain there.
