Usage note
Before you use anything here: check the license badge on the image page itself, not this summary. CC0 and public-domain marked work needs no attribution, though crediting the creator is good practice. CC-BY requires the attribution line we've pre-written for you. If you're using these as style references in an AI tool, the same license terms apply to the reference image — the output is a separate question that depends on your tool's own terms.
