Description

### A URL for this dataset

https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/

### Dataset description

The Old Book Illustrations website contains a dataset of illustrations scanned from old books. Each illustration page also contains infos about the illustrator, the illustration and the book it's taken from as well as a title, a description, and a few keywords. As of today, the website contains 3150 images.

I already wrote a script to scrap all the content since the api does not give access to all the information (for instance the image is not is the best resolution).

Is it a dataset that is relevant for this project?
