Oh, I know they don't HAVE to document it--just wish they would. And some of the images I've seen are obscure enough that there is no source, alas!
And the Google image search isn't foolproof. Tried to find a period portrait of a guy sitting in an armchair with a big red rolled arm, and got lots of pictures of modern faces with a square of red somewhere in the picture, but not the portrait I was looking for. Sometimes it works, though.

(Occasionally, friends do share pins, but, alas, many pinners don't ocument worth a darn--so we don't know WHERE that purty pitcher is from!)" ctually, they don't need to document it. Pinterest is basically a fancy ookmark with pictures. If you click on the pin, it will take you to the riginal website where the image was found. For example, if they pin a dress rom the Met, clicking on it will take you to the Met page showing the dress. he problem comes in when they pin it from a website with no source nformation... but then we suffered that even before Pinterest. ;) Of course, oogle now has the functionality to find an image if you cut and paste it into heir search engine so sometimes the original can be found that way even when omeone doesn't put source information.
