Source Materials

These images have been scanned at 24-bit colour and at approximately 400 dpi. They exist as large archival TIFF file format files (average size, 20 megabytes each), which have then been batch-processed in the Electronic Text Center to create both highly-compressed JPEG files (average size, 80 KB each) and rather less highly-compressed ones (average size, 300 KB each). These are available below as "lower quality" and "higher quality" respectively.
