The other night, he was perusing some of them, and landed on the New York Public Library digital collection.
The site hosts a ton of fascinating images. These include:
• 1950s fashion illustrations from the Creators Studio
• Maps and Atlases
• Shoes of the 19th Century
• Old photographs of New York
• Early American Manuscripts
• Book jacket art
• Sheet music
• Stereoscopic views (my personal favorite)
Well, you get the idea.
This is the website:

Warning: don't click unless you're prepared to spend a significant amount of time getting lost in a labyrinth of ephemera.
Hopefully, this distancing thing will be short-lived. In the meantime, this is a lovely way to stay connected with one's creative side.
Happy discovering!
