found a new-to-me archive of open access stuff! the massachusetts digital archive has a big heap of Stuff. mostly photos and text, but a bit of other stuff, including a collection of 19th century "trade cards" - little ads which seem to be MOSTLY racist caricatures and ugly little babies. there's also some nature illustrations and ~sexy ladies~. a weird collection of things. i liked this lady. the texture of the etching on her skin and hair is really nice.
