And a related application;
making a cover/title page with a tall narrow image on the left:
used inline styles as it's only one page
Code:
<body>
<div>
<img alt="" src="../Images/image.jpg" style="width:50%; float:left; margin-right:0.1em;" />
<h1 style="text-align:left">The Title<br />
<br /></h1>
<h3 style="text-align:left">An Author</h3>
</div>
</body>
