Greetings 5861:
I located a public domain image of "Prairie Settlement: Nebraska
Photographs and Family Letters, 1862-1912" at
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?psbib:2:./temp/~ammem_CV4x::@@@mdb=manz,eaa
This is public domain from the Library of Congress. To view the large
image see http://memory.loc.gov/award/nbhips/lca/131/13199r.jpg
For permission to use the photo, see
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ammemrr.pl?title=%3ca+href%3d%22%2fammem%2faward98%2fnbhihtml%2fpshome.html%22%3ePrairie+Settlement%3a+Nebraska+Photographs+and+Family+Letters,+1862-1912%3c%2fa%3e&coll=psbib&default=award&dir=ammem
- Seemingly, written permission is the only "charge" incurred.

Midway down the page at http://memory.loc.gov/pp/cphSubjects250.html
are many listings for ice skating in the 1800s. These are linked to
the Library of Congress and may be duplicates of the one below.
See last row, at http://digital.nypl.org/mmpco/searchresultsK.cfm?keyword=ice+skating
- title "Skating pond, Central Park, N.Y. 1861. Image 800756"
See the stand-alone larger image of the above at

This image is from the New York Public Library Picture Collection
Online however there is a small charge for **reproductions** so you
should still ask written permission for use of the online image. The
main site is located at http://digital.nypl.org/mmpco/ where it is
stated:

newspapers as well as original photographs, prints and postcards,

permission.
