1) Must be clip art.  Those Europeans hate to use Ameri-talk.
2) & 3)  There is a ton of clip art in the public domain and from dealers.
   
   Try Budget-Bytes or EduCrop for Pay-For-Freeware stuff (i.e. they
   charge $5 a disk or so for copies of freeware/shareware.

   Try the Sumex archives - they are free but you can't see before you
   get them.

   Commercial sources - Look through a MacWarehouse or MacConnection
   catalog and you will see many packages for sale.  My favorites
   are the CD-ROM variety as they tend to be cheaper per clip and 
   a bit easier to access than a slew of floppies.  Then again you 
   will need a CD-ROM player.....

Enjoy!
