How do I locate and print consolidated picture images representing each decade
of 20th century America? (1900-09, 1910-19, etc.)

themagnate-ga,

Your question is a tough one, simply because there are SO MANY
pictures out there, and so many resources.  Without knowing more about
what you need, and how you'll use them, it's hard to know which
resource to steer you towards.


However, no harm trying one out.  Visit these search results for the
Getty Archives:

I searched on the term "world" for the period 1900-1910.  The results
(360 photos) include a lot of great pix.  On the first page alone,
you'll find:


Jack Johnson, Boxing Champ

The Lusitania

HMS Hawke, a British battleship

A nice old biplane

Lumberjacks

Halley's comet


and a great many slice-of-life pictures that are hard to beat.



Of course, similar searches can be conducted for whatever year or
period is of interest.



Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

If that url above gives you trouble, try this one instead:

hello, I used this first website listed for a recent research project
- a good starting point for the decades and from this you can choose
some of the events and hunt for relevant images to represent them:
http://www.mediahistory.umn.edu/time/1900s.html
You should begin by narrowing down the type of images you want for
your project - eg. a mix of political, social, cultural images for
each decade, or only political?? - there is so much available, some
boundaries are a good start - I was forced to only use 10 images per
decade so needed to choose a good mix in order to represent the
changing times.
This is another great website, but please take note of Copyright laws,
if they apply:
