Great scroll until you reach the 1930's and start getting more and more "Image restricted due to copyright" and have to start clicking through to external sites. I will bookmark it though, for a day when I can be bothered to open each photo individually.

True, though you generally expect that going in. Definitely wasn't expecting an increasing number of photos to just not be there.
