Where could I find high resolution photos of steam trains and colonial british houses in 1900 india?

Asked by ronia (24points) April 24th, 2010

I’m interested in the train and the colonial house in 1900 India photos because I’m planning to stage with primary school children the “Secret Garden” and I want to use them in my performance using a projector.

Try the Bettman Archive. It is one of the most comprehensive collections of photographic images available and is searchable by category.

The US Library of Congress has amazing online collections. The size of the photos varies a lot, grab the TIFFs for the biggest ones.

The best bets look like:
The Bain Collection
Stereograph Cards,
World’s Transportation Commission
The Detroit Publishing Company
