DIRECTIONS - You can download as digital files the images pictured on this page. The small numbered pictures you see in the listings are 1/4-size "thumbnail" images intended to load quickly with the web page. The actual images are 4 times wider and higher. The sample to the left, the first image in the Spanish colloection below, is reproduced at original size and resolution. To download an image, you must have a browser that can handle image files in the JPEG format. Otherwise your attempt to download will fail outright or produce just a stream of jumbled text instead of an image. Most browsers can handle image downloads.
To download an image, select its "thumbnail." Depending on how your browser's image "helper" is set, the image will download either for immediate display or for storage and later viewing. These images are "e-mailware." You are free to use them for educational purposes, and you may pass them on to others. The only restriction is that you not assemble them into other collections or use them in other products that you distribute for profit.
