On of my first projects on wikipedia was scanning in illustrations from A History of the United States by Alma Holman Burton, an 1899 book. The illustrator is uncredited. This was in early 2003 and wikipedia didn't have many pictures then. Since that time many of the illustrations have been replaced with better pictures, often paintings, and some of the files have been deleted. but there are still a number of them hanging around.
