LIFE photo archive hosted by Google | Photodoto

LIFE photo archive hosted by Google | Photodoto:

"LIFE has released over 10 million images on a new hosted image service from Google and in Google Image Search. They claim [...] that the collection contains ‘some of the most iconic images of the 20th century.’
LIFE is selling fine art prints (in partnership with Qoop it seems) of the collection and the photos are only available online as 1 megapixel scans."


Outstanding.




(I've seen a large print of this Margaret Bourke-White photo in a local gallery. A computer screen can't do it justice, not by a long shot.)
