On January 1, every year, we celebrate Public Domain Day, the day when work’s copyright expires, and it enters the public domain. It means that each of them you can freely use (display, modify, print, etc.) without asking permission from the author.
In 2017 the list of the public domain was enriched by the works of thirty notable persons.
We created several collections that now is available on Picryl. Take a look!
