<a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html">This</a> is even better! Flickr has 3,000 images, LC's own database of a million+.

However, flickr is a great 'gateway drug' for the LC's immense online collection, and is google-able.

pchippy's got it right. flickr's interface is head and shoulders above the LOC's 1997-esque interweb presence.
Find me on github.
