Flickr Common Manifests

Manifests of the public domain images uploaded to Flickr Commons, with descriptive information about the books they were taken from.

Please read the following for a better idea of why we are doing this:

Structure

All TSV files are in UTF-8 encoding and are split by year, and by size of illustration.

Small images are anything below 800x600 (480,000 in pixel area) This has nothing to do with the aspect ratio of the image i.e. they can be long and thin.
Medium are between small and 'plate' size
'Plates' are any images larger than 1000x1000 (1,000,000 pixel area)

Each image is represented by a single row in the manifest. From left to right, the columns are:

flickr_id:       The 'photo' identifier on flickr
flickr_url:      A handy URL to the image for convenience
book_identifier: The internal 'sysnum' for the record of the book in the BL's cataloguing system
title:           The title of the work the image was drawn from
first_author:    The first listed author/contributor in the work's record
pubplace:        Place of Publication
publisher:       Publisher
date:            Date of Publication
volume:          Which book volume the image was taken from 
page:            Which page
image_idx:       What image number on the page (useful when multiple are present. Arbitrary but unique to an image.)
ARK_id_of_book:  ARK identifier for the digitised version of the work [NB known ~20% of the time]
BL_DLS_ID:       Digital Library Service identifier.(Starts with 'lsidyv...') [NB known ~20% of the time]

NB You can retrieve the PDF of the book by appending the BL_DLS_ID to the following URL:

http://access.bl.uk/item/pdf/...

e.g. from the first line of '1846_plates.tsv':
