Where to get billiard artwork?

I just got an inquiry about billiard wall art so I thought I'd revive this thread. Here is a Library of Congress item:
www.loc.gov

Billiards / H. Bunbury, esqr., delt. ; Watson & Dickinson, excudt.

1 print : stipple engraving, brown ink. | "A game of billiards is being played on a table, one corner of which only is visible, so curiously elongated that it gives the impression of a triangular table..." (Source: George)
www.loc.gov
It appears to be free to download and the LoC seems to provide duplication service.

I need some billiard artwork to put in my new (actually, pretty old) billiard room. Any good sites with a nice selection?

For things that are out of copyright, which is a lot of old stuff, if I can get the images, I can fix them up fairly easily in Photoshop.

The Library of Congress has images available on-line of old prints including the Currier and Ives print "Played Out", which I guess I'll post later because images are not working right now.

Any other good sources?

I've loved this one forever. Dazzles me with the sheer emotional genius of Van Gogh and the way he clearly relates to the troubled, desperation of the cafe's denizens that he captures so vividly. Amazon has it for $35.00 with free shipping -- a real steal for this marvelous giclee reproduction of it on a 16 x 20 canvas.

I've always had a version of it in any of my home rec rooms. Enjoy. -- Arnaldo
