Before you reproduce the images, be sure you have the rights. I have seen many lawsuits over unauthorized reproductions of images.

This is the link to a page that tells when works pass into public domain. You should check it out:

no worries Redrob, you aren't.. I went over that page way before I even started using these.. there are no copywrite notices on any of it but the early photographs that are before 1923
