I bought this book from eBay.
I try to see if there is any valuable picture to insert into my online articles.
do I violate any copyright ?

I think not; I think the book is too old to still hold a copyright.

As Kenneth says, the book is likely to be out of copyright by now. However, I would still credit the book with any pictures you copy. A simple line "Source: 1867 Encyclopaedia of Architecture" is sufficient.
I would check to see if the copyright was renewed. There should be a page close to the start of the book giving the printing history.

Copyright laws (just like patent laws) vary among jurisdictions. Laws in the US of A may differ from laws in European countries. The Berne Convention sets a framework for the different national laws, but there is some leeway and room for different interpretations. In many cases, parties have been (very) slow at implementing the Convention in their laws. US of A was very late (1989) in ratifying the Berne Convention. I do not know if it is yet fully implemented in the laws.
In Norway, copyright expires 70 years after the death of the (last, if more than one) creator (Berne minimum is 50 years), and it can not be renewed. From what I have picked up about the Berne Convention, I haven't seen anything about renewal. As Berne sets a minimum of 50 years, I guess a country could also allow renewal, so it could be that the US of A provides for this. However, as copyright laws (like other laws) only apply in a given jurisdiction, any such renewed copyright would have no legal power e.g. in Norway.
However, the author of this book is from England, and the book published in London. The Berne Convention states that when copyright protection expires in the country of origin, it expires in other countries as well. So even if the US of A allows renewal of copyright on works by authors from the US of A, it cannot be applied to works by English authors.

If it is the original, you are good. But there is a good chance that you hold a reprint published 1982, in which case you may have some problems...

The copyright is on the creative work. Reprinting a book does not add to the creative work, and cannot be copyrighted - at least not in countries honoring the Berne Convention.
You may add your own creative element e.g. by making a scene play from a novel, or edit an anthology of several stories on related topics. Then that adaptation or composition has its own copyright protection, as an adaptation / composition, but that does not affect the copyright of the original / individual works.
An example:
When internet arrived, Norwegian laws were not available on the net. They are (explicitly stated in the laws) not subject to copyright. So a group of people started a joint effort to typing in, not scanning, every law in the official printed book of Norway's laws. They were sued for copyright infringement because they copied everything in the book, including the notes and cross references (there are a lot!). All of that is copyrighted. So they had to edit that out, leaving the bare laws with no decorations.
(They were far from through the work when the publisher of the official printed edition decided to make their version freely available on internet - for a while it had been available at tremendous monthly fee to lawyers - so you could say that all the work was wasted. But most people think that if this 'Norges Lowwwer', Norwegian Lawwws, project had not been initiated, free access to the laws wouldn't have come about until much later.)

I would expect that applies to the point of time when the country agreed to honor that.
At least in the United States that means it does not apply to anything created before 1989.

So date says 1867 and presuming that is the copyright date it is in the public domain in the US.

Reprint doesn't matter unless there was 'substantial' work done on the content.
Otherwise companies would just keep reprinting their old material and claim a never ending copyright.

It's funny how you become dependent on a technology.
Our home network has up and down, mostly down for the last 2 days. The provider sent us a new modem but it's not going to be here until mid-week.
We both feel lost and not able to do our regular routine.

Many apologies. I didn't realize at the time that my post would amount to trolling the forum.
I retract my statement and beg your pardon.

One threat to our network communications is any 10 cent crew with a back hoe.
Next threat - management allowing projects to use libraries and OS builds off the internet (remember the great doorbell DNS attack?).
I could go on. The real threat is the simple lack of commonsense.

This has happened a number of times over the last couple of years, and Bell Canada's so unresponsive I switched to Rogers residential internet over 5G. No cable to worry about getting cut. Bliss. I went into the nasty details a few weeks ago here on the lounge.
It's one thing to have the cable replaced, but every single time, the guy who replaced it insisted burying it was not his job...he just ran the cable across my neighbor's gravel driveway, which means my neighbor drove over it at least twice a day, and was very likely to snag it with his snowblower any time it snowed.
And of course Bell won't bury a cable if the ground's frozen. What am I supposed to do, get the cable replaced 8 times over the course of one winter? I'm working from home, no internet means I can't work. No thanks, Bell, I found a solution, and not only does it NOT involve you, it gets you out of the picture altogether.
It's pricier, but it eliminates one type of possible problem altogether. Of course wireless isn't without its own unique types of problems, but aside from some initial setup issues, it hasn't gone down since (touch wood), and it's been roughly a month now.
In all fairness, I'll grant Bell this much, as long as the cable was physically okay, I hardly ever got any connectivity disruption.

I actually saw this in my neighborhood years ago, but it was Comcast/Xfinity/Whatever. Hilarious.
A few years ago, I wanted ATT fiber - the "guy" - I don't even know if he was with ATT - did not want to run the cable properly... good bye.
Tried tmobile 5g - worked GREAT when no one was on their phone. Fired.
Went back to ATT, the installer called me and I explained - the installation will be done to my standards. He agreed, I helped him, I'm not looking back. The line is buried, the fiber comes in correctly to my crawlspace, up the wall and into a closet. I tipped him $100.

One of the guys who did come and bury the cable one time wasn't saying it directly in those words, but what he was alluding to is that because my neighborhood is "scheduled" for a fiber optic upgrade (eventually), Bell isn't interested in investing the money to "properly" bury phone cables in the meantime.
Problem is, being "scheduled" for the upgrade could mean in 2 weeks just like it could mean "at some time over the next 12 years". I'm just outside of the nearest city (if you wanna call it that), so I know I'm not a priority.
Besides, as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing magical about a fiber optic cable that will prevent a backhoe from snagging it any more than any other type of cable. All backhoe drivers who cut my line over the last 2-3 years have all said the same thing: Bell's supposed to come over and mark where their cables are, but they never do. I certainly sympathize with these guys - if Bell hasn't done what they're supposed to, the backhoe drivers are not going to put their work on hold until Bell shows up - because they never do.
Rogers certainly has its own horror stories. But like I said, at least without any wire coming into the house, that's one type of problem eliminated.
