I’m interested in the train and the colonial house in 1900 India photos because I’m planning to stage with primary school children the “Secret Garden” and I want to use them in my performance using a projector.

Try the Bettman Archive. It is one of the most comprehensive collections of photographic images available and is searchable by category.

And – Welcome to Fluther!

The US Library of Congress has amazing online collections. The size of the photos varies a lot, grab the TIFFs for the biggest ones.

The best bets look like:
The Bain Collection
Stereograph Cards,
World’s Transportation Commission
The Detroit Publishing Company
