Jack,
I believe a lot of these pieces pre-date CJ Strong's work. They were done by a variety of artists, then compiled into 8 Folio style books around the turn of the century. There are around 1400 plates in the books, but I picked out the ones I thought people migh want to see and many of those have a definite Strong look. I lost some of the original posts on this topic on the old Forum, a result of the Viagra hackers. (scum bags)
It seemed a shame to have the images on the server and not have them linked. Someday, I need to make the size more uniform and create a single page for them.
