Default Are there stock images like this available?

Hi, are there any free images on the web of "1950s type people" like those in the link below?
1950s Magnets - CafePress
I see these types of images are everywhere. I suppose people could just be drawing them, but probably not.

Yeah, there are free ones out there but it takes some digging. Anything that's actually from the 1950's is old enough that its now public domain, the problem is these originals are usually bad quality and need to be re-drawn and that's why the nice ones cost money.

My suggestion is to go your largest book store, preferably a Barnes&Noble or Borders, they have cheep books of 50's style illustrations and ad cuts.

Either that or Google retro art, you'll find a lot for sale.

The 1920's and earlier maybe but not the 50's.

Ah, I see, so everything before 1923 is public after that there's a 28 year copyright renewal limit. Makes sense.

Thanks.
