Advice - General / Tracking down pirates / Finding photos and illustrations

Technology for finding photographs is still changing quite fast. You can now send a photo to a special search engine that will find other photos that look like it. Still, though, your best bet is often to search for text that would be likely to be wrapped round a particular photo. Please see the section "Photography / Tracking down pirates", linked below.

The principles of finding photographs apply equally to finding illustrations.
