These are various images I use for identifying links and for other decorative purposes in this "Library of Antiquarian Technology." At any given time, one of these images will be copied into the file "image-for-library.png" in the "library-of-antiquarian-technology-images" directory (this present directory), from which the various pages of the Library reference it. I'll switch images, or add new ones, as the mood strikes me.
Since this Library is intended to be copyable freely, I've taken care to use here only images which are in the public domain. They remain in the public domain as used here; I claim no new copyright or other rights in them.
I believe that the phrase "Library of Antiquarian Technology" is a generic term, and claim no trademark or service mark rights on it or on any of the images I use here to link to it.

It still startles me to realize that, yes, the world really was
in color back then.

The linking image back to the lemur.com home page is described there, and is in fact fetched from that location. Since, however, this Library is, as noted, intended to be copyable freely, the particular lemur.com linking image I use for this Library is one that is in the public domain. Moreover, while "lemur.com" is a service mark of David M. MacMillan and Rollande Krandall, we claim no trademark or service mark status for this image.
Please note that in other parts of lemur.com we do use decorative and linking images which are in copyright and may, as noted there, claim trademark or service mark rights on them.
