A million first steps

We have released over a million images onto Flickr Commons for anyone to use, remix and repurpose. These images were taken from the pages of 17th, 18th and 19th century books digitised by Microsoft who then generously gifted the scanned images to us, allowing us to release them back into the Public Domain.
Merci MS ;-)
Which brings me to the point of this release. We are looking for new, inventive ways to navigate, find and display these ’unseen illustrations’.
