Right, the second one (Story of Aboul-Hassen) I don't think I have seen anywhere else so far. Thanks a lot!
Now this would be interesting to look into:

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.)

Yes, I know how to get highest resolution from IA. For just getting a few pages, which is the case here, I choose the "View Contents" link next to the "raw_jp2.zip" file (or similar), then I can get the images as jpg, without messing with jpeg2000 (e.g.
https://ia802705.us.archive.org/zipv...ft_raw_jp2.zip, only it takes a bit of hit and miss to find the correct file for a given page)[*]. But I don't know if a similar option is available from Hathi, so that's what I was asking for.
[*] ETA: I just (re-)realized that the jpgs obtained in this way have significant lower resolution that the jp2s. It's still a good way to download only the desired pages, instead of the full archive.
