Example:
I typed 'tulips' in the search bar and got 151 images.
3. After finding an image you'd like to print
left click on the image, it will give you an enlarged view.
![Tulipa VII 'Duc Victor'. [Tulip VIII ; Flame tulip]](http://images.nypl.org/index.php?id=1161375&t=w "View Smaller Image")
4. Right click on the enlarged image and choose
'Print Picture' from your menu.
(There is a 'printer icon' above the enlarged image that confused me,
I thought you selected that to print the image...no, that would be too simple!)
The 'Subject' category is interesting to peruse, it is a vast A - Z listing
if you're in need of some ideas.
Have fun and thank you to those who

What a fantastic resource! Thanks for sharing this...pinning so I'll remember to use it!
You rock. Pretty sure you just saved me $25 that I was going to spend on a print. Thanks, friend!
Who knew? Very cool. Thanks so much for sharing! I hope your week is off to a good start. I love your profile photo - my daughter wants a golden so bad! xo
This is HUGE. I'm going to have to go to the site and bookmark for future reference. Just out of curiousity, what kind of printer do you have? We have a color printer but it's not the greatest and we're in the market for a new one.
Wow, that is awesome! Yet another site where I will probably spend too much time, Ha.
Thanks for sharing, Pam. I'm looking forward to spending some time with this- may be for some prints for my kitchen?! (Possibly save some to a flash drive and have them printed at Kinko's for better quality than my home printer?)
That is so great. Thank you for sharing!
What a great resource! Thanks for sharing.
This is such an awesome resource Pam! I need to set aside some time because I am predicting myself lost in a digital library for a good amount of time!
Great tips Pam. It really is a great resource for some original looking artwork!
