there are literally hundreds of genuine Qianlong seals, not to mention all of the myriad faked and imitated versions. Sources of Qianlong marks on ceramics are already noted, there are also collections of the emperor's seals in the National Palace Museum, Taiwan. Seals impressed upon paintings and calligraphy can most easily be seen by looking up scrolls in museum collections that have good online photos of their holdings; the books that have life sized impressions of these seals are fairly specialized, but you can see some of the main ones in Sotheby/Christies auction catalogs from recent years.
Several auctions of Qianlong seals have also taken place.
