These essentially random images were variously obtained from:
- 'The Art of Cuisine and the Culture of Dining' - Culinary documents from the National Library of Austria (current exhibition).
- 'Medieval Gastronomy in Images' - extensive web exhibition (mostly in english) at BNF.
- 'Feeding America' - The Historic American Cookbook Project at Michigan State University Library.
- 'Books for Cooks' at The British Library's Learning collection.
- Kansas State University Cookery exhibit.
- Historical Culinary & Brewing Documents Online (these are mostly transcriptions from the sample I saw).
- 'Not by Bread Alone' - America's Culinary Heritage at Cornell University.
- 'Defining HER Life' - Cooking & Gardening at University of Delaware Library.
- 'Fooles and Fricassees: Food in Shakespeare's England' at the Folger Shakespeare Library.
- 'Of Food in General' at Kings College, London.
- 'Cookery, Gastronomy and Entertaining' at Waterloo University Library, Ontario.
Update - I forgot to include this: a thoroughly fascinating site - The Food Timeline. Definitely worth perusing.
