IMAGES
Databases & Print reproductions
Please note: A s you work on your blog entries and cast about for a research image and topic, I encourage you to explore the links to a very large number of digital image databases listed on the Course Resources page and to also browse the books on main reserve (the three-volume publication of the Ellsworth collection is worth a leisurely look in any case). Enjoy!
