Thanks for sharing the link to the Library of Congress source. We pulled this from its Flickr account, which if you haven't checked out, is a fantastic resource and easy way to lose yourself on the Internet for hours. http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/

Hey Ginny, we should add the direct link to the base image as part of the image credits. A slight oversight on our part, but easily fixable :)
