Anything that old is in the public domain, at least in America. You could still face trademark issues, but that would only be on logos.

It is incorrect to say that anything that is old is in the public domain.

First define old. My grandma is very old, and she is not in the public domain.

Here is a link for a Cornell University page where they have more information on how old it has to be and other implications.

As for trademark issues,  not only logos, but names, slogans and also characters. Thinking of characters, for instance the trademarked Peter Rabit characters of Beatrix Potter books, you can read something interesting about it here:

So, you are off better by doing your own research than asking this in a forum.

Thank you for you replies

Not sure about other sites, but SS has said they will not accept images that are from public domain sources.  I believe this even includes editorial shots.

Im not asking to upload images to SS or other microstock site, i just want to upload some muscle images to my future fitness blog; everybody use this book images, also wikipedia, i just want to learn a little more about this kind of images licence to know if i can really use it in future.
