amstel.pcx
==========
"View over Amstel" (ca.1646) by Rembrandt van Ryn (1606-1669).
National Gallery of Art, Washington. This is an image I scanned
from a print. I chose it because the image had a dominent
horizontal orientation. The light sky provides an area where
text can be added.

astp.pcx
========
Apollo 18 with Docking Module about to dock with Soyuz 19 during
the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP). Painting by Robert
McCall. Scanned from a print. The original painting shows the
curvature of the Earth, and the spacecraft are portrayed with a
diagonal orientation. By scanning the print at an equivalent but
opposite diagonal, and cropping all but the spacecraft, the
desired horizontal element was achieved. Text could be added
along the bottom.

babylon5.pcx
============
A side view of the Babylon 5 space station from the TV show of
the same name. This image was downloaded from the anonymous ftp
site ftp.hyperion.com, in the directory /pub/Babylon-5.


balloon.pcx
===========
Photograph of a hot-air balloon. This is a very simple image
scanned from a photograph. The large blank area provides ample
opportunities for text.

cats.pcx
========
Scanned from the cover of a wonderful little book by Kathryn
Lynne Darnell, "Celtic Cats: A Small Book of Nine Lives."
Ms. Darnell says, "the cat is a common & most lively character
in embellishment of the Book of Kells." The scanned image does
not come close to doing justice to Ms. Darnell's fine calli-
graphy, but it caught my fancy anyway.

earth.pcx
=========
A cloud-free photomosaic of the earth, from satellite imagery.
I caught this image when it was posted on a Usenet newsgroup
(one of the sci.space.* groups, I think). The Pacific Ocean
provides a good area for text.

evenings.pcx
============
A snow-covered Japanese landscape, from an Ukiyo-e print. This
image is greatly cropped from the original image I downloaded
from the anonymous ftp site ftp.uwtc.washington.edu, in the
directory pub/Japanese/Pictures/Ukiyo-e. Too lovely to add text
to, unless it is Japanese Kanji, vertically oriented.

light.pcx
=========
The Portland Head light, at Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I scanned
this from a postcard. I suppose you could add text, but why ruin
this lovely image?

mir.pcx
=======
The Russian "Mir" ("Peace") space station -- a computer-gener-
ated raytrace image, downloaded from an ftp site at Johnson
Space Center. Greatly reduced in size from the original image,
I initially had trouble getting a good horizontal image, but
then it occurred to me that by shifting the image to the right,
the resulting large nightside area on the left would be an ideal
place to put text.

ncc1701d.pcx
============
The starship Enterprise, NCC-1701D, from "Star Trek: The Next
Generation." Scanned from a mousepad. This is from the painting
hanging in Captain Picard's Ready Room. Calls out for italic
text, which can be positioned in the lower left of the image.

tarsier.pcx
===========
The tarsier is a nocturnal mammal related to the lemur. I
scanned this image from the cover of a book. Like the balloon
image, this is simple, with lots of room for text.

vnusmars.txt
============
"Venus and Mars" (ca.1485) by Sandro Botticelli (1444-1510).
National Gallery, London. Scanned from a book. Almost perfectly
proportioned for the HP-100/200 screen, though I doubt that
Botticelli planned it that way.
