Godey's Lady's Book; Petersons Book, Arthur's Home Magazine, etc. including various French and German Fashion Magazines. The fashion plates, illustrations, recipes, etc. are wonderful! I have a grand recipe for a delicious no-cook lemon pudding which I got from a 1871 Godey's Lady's Book.... great research information as well for the Victorian era.

Even better - they are all public domain and the period graphics are great - and free to use!

This website is great! Thanks so much for posting, Betty. (I have an idea how I'll be spending my cold, dreary Sunday afternoons this fall and winter!)
