Image Gallery

The University of Houston's Digital Library has a large collection of interesting images ranging from photographs to illustrations in color and black & white dating back from the 15th century to modern day. We try to showcase the pictures into our blog posts, but with over 40,000 images to chose from, only a small fraction gets posted. Here's a small gallery of some of our more neglected yet stunning images.
