Dataset Summary
This small dataset contains the thumbnails of the first 100 entries of Digitised Books - Images identified as Embellishments. c. 1510 - c. 1900. JPG. It has been uploaded to the Hub to reproduce the tutorial by Daniel van Strien: Using 🤗 datasets for image search.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
A typical row contains an image thumbnail, its filename, and the year of publication of the book it was extracted from.
An example looks as follows:
{
'fname': '000811462_05_000205_1_The Pictorial History of England being a history of the people as well as a hi_1855.jpg',
'year': '1855',
'path': 'embellishments/1855/000811462_05_000205_1_The Pictorial History of England being a history of the people as well as a hi_1855.jpg',
'img': ...
}
Data Fields
fname
: the image filename.year
: a string with the year of publication of the book from which the image has been extractedpath
: local path to the imageimg
: a thumbnail of the image with a max height and width of 224 pixels
Data Splits
The dataset only contains 100 rows, in a single 'train' split.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
This dataset was chosen by Daniel van Strien for his tutorial Using 🤗 datasets for image search, which includes the code in Python to do it.
Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
As stated on the British Library webpage:
The images were algorithmically gathered from 49,455 digitised books, equating to 65,227 volumes (25+ million pages), published between c. 1510 - c. 1900. The books cover a wide range of subject areas including philosophy, history, poetry and literature. The images are in .JPEG format.d BCP-47 code is
