Can you see if these are the illustrations (and which is which)?

(These are from Wikipedia, and are not in the set I have. The first one doesn't look like Lalauze's, although it is labeled as such.
If anyone could send me the scans (at the highest available resolution/quality), I'd be grateful (just PM me). Also, if the size is larger that the ones I have (about 550x800 pixels), I'd appreciate all other illustrations too, actually. |
The two images from Hathi is attached to this message - the first one is not the one you got from the Burton edition - in the best quality I could get. I suspect they come from the same google-scan as the one on Wikipedia, so …
Regarding VPN, I had something like Cyberghost in mind - where you can choose an IP-adress in almost any given country around the globe. Both Google Books and Hathi yield somewhat different results, when maskerading as an american (and for those concerned: I wouldn't consider it piracy to use af VPN-client to get books that are public domain everywhere).
And as for getting the images in higher resolutions: At Archive.org, click "Show All" at the bottom of the list of download possibilities, and fetch any of the .jp2-archives. Those are usually the original scans, sometimes in colour and usually in a way better quality and higher resolution than the pdf or djvu files. (You will need an image editor capable of reading jpeg2000, and even then they can be quite a slow PITA to open.)
