Quote:Ave William,
thanks for your great job! That's the kind of illustrations I'm always looking for.
So don't hesitate to share some more thousands of them with us :wink:
Or please just give a hint. Which keywords and search engines do you prefer to find them? Your research is very successful!
Ave Heiko: My pleasure. So much more to come, given enough time.
Excellent! I use Google Image, which so far works best for me. I use English, German, Spanish, and Italian keywords that I know, and online foreign language dictionaries to get keywords that I don't know, and in other languages. Languages that do not use Roman letters/characters are much more time-consuming, time being too fleeting & precious. However, many websites in these languages include some keywords in languages that do use Roman letters/characters.
The biggest drawback is that many images are available on the internet for only a few days to a few months or years. I has taken me nine years to collect 3,000+ images so far, but my searches were sporadic (when I had time), and I'm sure that I missed many. Nevertheless, with enough time and persistence, you can get a good collection.
Yes, I'll be glad to compile and post a multi-lingual keyword list here in a few weeks. (Of course, it will be incomplete, but better than nothing.)
I'll also continue posting the better Roman image website links in several RAT threads, as I rediscover them.
