Ethical considerations: Just as you cite your information sources, be sure to cite your image sources. Giving credit is the right thing to do!

Many of the design books in Rod Library include high-quality images. You can pull the books off the shelves and flip through them to determine whether they have mages, or you can look at the record in the library catalog. Scroll down to the About section of the record. The "Format" field will tell you how long the book is, whether there are illustrations (pictures) and whether they are in color. This record shows that not only does this book include color illustrations, but the illustrations are chiefly (mostly) in color. 
Rod Library offers KIC Scanners if you want to make copies of these images and email them to yourself as a PDF. I also recommend the Adobe Scan App, which you can use free right from your phone.
Some web searching will lead you to images (as will a Google Image search). Do be aware these searches are not exhaustive (most notably missing works in museums and archives). They often are low-quality versions of these images.
One way I use these images is as a gateway for where to locate other sources that aren't easily found with a simple Google search. For example, the following Guardian article contains the Winslow Homer watercolor above. What is really great about this image, however, is that it credits The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, so I can trace it down to ensure I have a quality copy.
