The last check of the list of links was done on 7 December 2002. The links give the most direct connections to illustrations available on the web. The above ratings are of course subjective but should be helpful for finding the fastest way to good pictures on the web. Although links are checked regularly, some may be outdated due to rapid changes of web addresses. Suggestions for improvement and hints to other internet resources are most welcome |
