Where to find images of Andrew Jackson?

April 13, 2008 10:01 AM

Where would one go to find medium to high quality images of President Andrew Jackson on the internet or in New York City?

I'm making a mini documentary on the Andrew Jackson for a class and I need some Andrew Jackson related imagery. I've exhausted google image search and I'm more than willing to spend some time in front of a scanner. Portraits, cartoons, renderings, pictures of artifacts, anything Jackson related would help. It's for personal use and will be shown to no more than a few people. As a result copyright is not a big concern of mine. However any digital images need to be bigger than 640×480. Thanks for your help.

Sorry if this is too obvious, but have you tried a $20 bill?

The NYPL site is always a good place to go for things like this. What about this one, for instance? No watermarks.
