Tom & Abbie have done such a wonderful job saving all of this lovely art so we can all still appreciate work created way before any of us were even a thought. Excellent variety & quality & I love knowing who the original artist was (or the publishing house) so I can give credit where it is due. I am hopeful that the original artists are pleased with the care we give their designs as we incorporate them into new ones. Thank you again, Tom & Abbie!

I LOVE century library. It so helpful so I dont have to source and then destroy vintage books for my work which I would rather not do. I'm so happy with the quality of the images and they have anything and everything I could need. I highly recommend!

Century Library is so awesome! I’m a designer at an environmental org that has a 100+ year heritage, so once i saw century library i kneww it would be a great fit for our design aesthetic. It’s a wonderful resource for a historical look and feel, without having to dig through and scan old books and pamphlets, etc. which would take so many hours of sorting & searching for, alone! I’m now thinking of projects I can use their beautiful assets for in my personal work as well, it’s all so inspiring and fun to work with.

An invaluable resource for historical book design. I'm using their assets for a late 19th-century history project, and the quality of the illustrations and page elements is top-notch. Highly recommended.

I just absolutely love Century Library. Just joined in and haven't used the service very much but I already tested some pictures and those were perfect for a paper cutting machine ❤️

I have been using Century Library for my greeting card business. I love the curation — everything feels consistent without being too homogenous or limiting. Really tasteful collection and easy-to-use assets!

I used this resource to find some images of flowers to help me with the background of this painting that I’m currently working on. It’s not finished yet, but it would’ve taken me a lot longer to finish it if I didn’t have this resource. It sparked more creativity in me and is also giving me ideas for future paintings!

The Century Library is an absolute treasure chest. I am having a ball playing with all the beautifully restored digital files.

I absolutely love this library. I’ve needed vintage assets for a few years. This was exactly what I needed. The new website is a positive move in a good direction.
As a designer who works frequently in vintage and illustrative styles, Century Library has been an absolute treasure trove of inspiration, and useful assets. The font selection is great, and generally whatever (even obscure) thing I’m looking for I’m able to find, which speaks to the depth and quality of images available in their catalog. Resurrecting the overlooked, under-appreciated beauty of the past is so needed in our era, and I’m thankful to Tom and Abbie for undertaking this monumental task!
