I can't believe I'm just finding out about NYPL Digital Gallery. They have thousands images that can be used for personal, education, research and commercial purposes.

2. High Resolution Files (All Uses Allowed, Including Commercial Uses). High resolution digital files of photos in the Library’s Digital Gallery are available for editorial and commercial use for a reproduction fee. For more information, please go to: www.nypl.org/permissions.
3. You Are Responsible For Obtaining Necessary Permissions. The NYPL Websites contain a wide range of content. They contain materials that are in the public domain as well as materials that are protected by copyright.

In some cases, you may also need to secure the consent of people who appear in photographs in our collections.
