All of these prints are Public Domain in the U.K. as well due to their age. Hi Andrew, I don’t see where that would be an issue.

I've already started putting out some mugs and stationary (viewable in my Zazzle store). I have a cache of about 40-50 prints that I'm still cleaning up, and I STILL haven't touched the source you kindly provided--I got my current stash of images from a series of books called "Masterpieces selected from the Ukiyoyâe school" from 1909 and available online from http://posner.library.cmu.edu/Posner/ .

You're right, most of the images are probably in the Public Domain but it looks like the site owner is controlling their use through licensing. I'm assuming that if you pay the license fee, you get access to the high-res version of the image. So, three big differences between the LOC and this site you've shared here... 1) LOC does not restrict use through terms of a license 2) LOC gives free access 3) LOC gives access to high res versions of the prints Hi Nooyawka,
