We live in an age when you can describe practically anything you want to see in words, then see it almost immediately. Nobody will ever have laid eyes upon that particular sight before — and quite possibly, nobody ever will again.

👻 Spooky season continues at the Internet Archive! Today’s tricky treat: HÄXAN, the 1922 silent film about witchcraft, superstition and the persecution of those accused of practicing it. In this sequence, witches take flight through the night, followed by a gathering of dark rituals. This Swedish-financed Danish production was filmed in Denmark. More Spooky Stuff here ⤵️ https://archive.org/details/@iasocial/lists/22/spooky-season-2026 #PublicDomain #Halloween #SpookySeason #DigitalHistory

‘Bear's Breeches’ by Karl Blossfeldt (1928)

Photograph from Karl Blossfeldt's internationally best-selling <em>Urformen der Kunst</em> (later translated into English as Art Forms in Plants). The book's 120 plates display Blossfeldt's remarkable photographs of plants – varieties from Equisetum hyemale (Winter Horsetail) to Tellima grandiflora (Fringe cups) — all captured in extraordinary detail, as if under the microscope, frozen into new forms almost beyond recognition.

From January: What do Sam "The Falcon" Wilson, Scooby-Doo, the Earth-2 Superman, and Sauron (the "I want to turn people into dinosaurs" guy) have in common? They all should've entered public domain this year under their original copyright terms, but didn't. https://www.diversetechgeek.com/cartoons-public-domain-2026/ #comics #animation #copyright #publicdomain
