Historic Dell

I have been hunting around for historic records of nearby places like the Dell.  Many old drawings, photos and prints have gone past copyright periods, so copies can be obtained as freebies.  I have found some good ones at the State Library Archive and they let you have a copy.  Now I have to find the best way to print some so that they can get on the wall.  My favourite is a subdivison map of Clifton Springs. It shows a steamer waiting at the end of the pier and the swimming enclosure nearby. All part of the advertising to buy a block in the 1890's.  I don't think it happened as most of it is now a golf course.
