So I just discovered the Internet Archive Book Images on Flickr. As I understand, it holds more than 5 million pictures of illustrations taken from books, which is awesome. But I don't understand how to search meaningfully inside such a huge collection. There are no albums, no galleries, and the search function doesn't yield any relevant results. I can't find a way to classify the images thematically. Apparently it's just sorted by "date uploaded".
I guess I could just randomly click on any page and hope I find something useful... but there are 53138 pages. What if I want something specific? What if I want to check a certain category? Maybe there's something about Flickr that I don't understand (as I'm not a regular user)…
So, as it is... 5 million images, and nothing but insects.
How is this collection supposed to be navigated? Does anyone know?
Thanks!
