Books that Include Photos or Other Illustrations
Sometimes you may need to find scholarly books don't consist mainly of
illustrations, but happen to include a few illustrations (such as photos).
Unfortunately the current version of Orbis has no way to do this.
Retrieve images (photos and artwork) from the World
Wide Web and from the Corbis Archive. The Corbis collection contains more
than 500,000 images.
