I looked up the information such as the name of the work or the artist on Openverse and was able to find the image, as well as more information about the licensing. For example, I found many of Charles Lemaire's botanical drawings [1] on Openverse [2], where I could get CC-BY licensed versions from Flickr, and links to their CC0 version from Rawpixel. Disclosure: I am a maintainer for Openverse.

I agree that is very hard to go back to a result, and also impossible to share a link to a specific result because the URL does not update. But as long as you are in a continuous session, the works you visit are added to a dock in the bottom-centre area of the page where you can go back to a result you've previously seen.

Yeah, in some cases it’s not too hard to look things up but the metadata is inconsistent (I just saw a date 1700-2006) and since they disable text selection on the info view it feels like they’re trying to discourage that.

Basically, I want what you have on Openverse when I tap the information icon.
