Some folks at Stanford have put together a lovely online compendium of public domain work--art from Dime Novels and Penny Dreadfuls. In addition to the 8,000 individual images, it includes an overview of old printing processes for reproducing artwork.
While we're on the topic, a number of publishers use Lulu to sell editions of dimestore novels, including ERBvillePress (see also erbvillepress.com), Wild Cat Books, Dennis McHaney and Bircham Studio.
