: Does anyone know a source for pictures of animal artwork from the northwest

I did find a source for decal "paper" which is coated with the water soluble coating needed for making decals. You can use this in your copier or computer printer.

Dover Press is a big publisher of public domain artwork, and facsimile publishing of out-of-copyright works. Any large bookstore should have listings of their book titles, or be able to give you information on how to contact them.

The following is a snip from a website (http://www.folds.net/menagerie/dover_press.html) which has no connection to anything we discuss here -- but they do mention that:

Dover says that "a free complete Dover catalog [is] available
upon request" to the following address:

Department 23
Dover Publications, Inc.
31 East 2nd Street,
Mineola, NY 11501

Telephone: (516) 294-7000

Update: As of August 13, 2000,
Dover has a web-page with e-mail,
and the web-page almost works:
http://www.doverpublications.com/
info@doverpublications.com

I checked the website, and it is not a place to get their catalog, which they say lists over 7000 titles, but a contact to their soon to be running website, and a connection for receiving info by e-mail.

I can believe the 7000+ figure. They have a tremendous amount of clip art books. If you send your e-mail address you get another screen wehre you can select areas you might be interested in. These include maritime and native american -- which might give you someplace to start.

Hope this helps.
