NOTES:

• Copyright: Since all of Tissot's works are over 100 years old, all of these images are copyright-free. Enjoy!
• Missing: Volume 2 of the 1903 edition was not available to me when these scans were made, but the same illustrations are also in the 1899 edition.
• Downloads: Click on the underlined volume.page numbers for scanned images, if available. Warning: Very Large Files! Thumbnails of these images are provided below.
• Disclaimer: At high magnification, some dust from the scanner plate is visible on these images. So they may not be optimal for high-quality printing, but are hopefully good enough for most uses on the internet (esp. since they're provided here for free!).
