Dancing., 1981 Library of Congress www.loc.gov/resource/gdc...

Black and white photograph of people from Barbados dancing in folk costumes around a maypole. "... participants dance in a circle, each holding a colored ribbon attached to a pole. The ribbons are intertwined and plaited either to the pole itself or into a web around the pole. The dancers then can retrace their steps in order to unravel the ribbons. "

One of the resources I use for my digital collages (which then become cyanotypes). It’s important to me that everything I use is either created by me or in the public domain. LOC, Smithsonian, and NYPL are favorites.

Prosthechea cochleata var. alba, 2002 Photographed by: Hannele Lahti Smithsonian Gardens Orchid Collection www.si.edu/object/prost...

Photograph against a solid black background. A delicate green orchid stem supports four pale yellow/green/cream flower clusters. Each cluster has a kind of petal head at the top with an octopus-like body of petals dangling beneath it. It looks like a collection of little octopus ghosts.

Octopus bocki, 2017 Bioblitz IZ Team / National Museum of Natural History / Smithsonian www.si.edu/object/octop...

Overhead photo of a small orange and cream-colored octopus. The orange mottled head is centered with its eight cream and pink-colored tentacles individually coiled around themselves around the perimeter of the body. It's cute and kind of looks like candy. Solid black background.

The Horsehead Nebula, 2020 AstroPix / NASA’s Universe of Learning / NOIRLab www.astropix.org/image/noirla...

The Horsehead Nebula A pink and purple background is filled with stars. In the foreground is a bank of brownish cloud-things, with a more dense crooked brown cloudy pillar rising up from the center. Despite this description, it's very beautiful.

The Flute. 1896. www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/prints/co...

A black and white woodcut print - truly black and white, 100% contrast with no illusion of greyscale. A young woman (I think?) is seated next to chest of drawers playing a flute. She has an annoyed expression on her face and a white cat stands on top of the chest beside her, tapping her with its paw as if trying to get her attention or trying to make her stop playing.
