I had no idea which forum to put this in, apologies if it's wrong.

Clicking on the categories on the left brings up images of advertising used in signs and posters through the ages. Right clicking on them brings up a save function, after which they can be resized in your photo editing software.

I haven't tried printing any out but should work and so could be useful to add some finishing touches to layouts.

I can't see any blurb about copyright on the sight, so I don't think there are any problems there in using the images in this way.

Wow Fidge that is such a nice find !!

for sure !!

Well, I saved one & it must have been coincidence that when I went to print it out, my printer decided to spit the dummy & not print things at all.  Nothing. Not even my spreadshets that I had just done earlier.
 Tried to reload drivers to no avail so I used a system restore, went back one day & all was OK with other printings until I went to print the saved Ad again & once more things died so I deleted the JPG file, cleaned all temp files out, rebooted, printed another JPG OK but then the keyboard refused to do things. Unplugged it, back in & now it works!
Sheesh - never had these problems with my pen & ink & ruled paper!!!

Intresting as I had a similar problem with my PC/printer the other day as I was trying to print off a control panel design. Instead of the printer printing my hard drive reved up instead and the pc basicly locked up! I unplugged the internet and eventualy did a system restore to solve the issue so I wonder if the last update was dodgy ?? :roll:

Absolutely fantastic find. Thank you.
