Title
Old Time Clip Art (Old Fashioned Line Drawings)
Description
Old Time Clip Art has been on the web continuously since 1995, originally as Vintage Clip Art and now as Old Time Clip Art. Although the number of images has more than doubled since 1995, the price of the collection has remained the same.
The collection consists of images scanned from a variety of sources dating from the mid-1800s to the late 1920s. The collection is arranged into 16 categories. All images are in JPG format.
Old Time Clip Art didn't start out as a collection. In 1991, I published a book for helping computing novices understand DOS commands. In order to make a point, I put a picture of man pulling on a boot and related the picture to computing. This was followed by a couple of ladies in mutton-chop sleeves and high-button shoes arguing about file management. The idea of "booting" a computer with a boot, and the absurdity of 19th century ladies talking about computers, helped to lighten the otherwise humorless content of learning DOS commands. By the time the book was finished, I had incorporated several dozen old images to make learning about computers more interesting.
