Steve. It is not plagiarism. I should have made that clear. The book was published about 150 years ago, is out of copyright and freely available (well Im no sur eif completely free, but available as a digital copy). I doubt if the author owned the pictures himself anyway.

So nice to see these lovely old photo's have not been artificially coloured in on a computer. I can't understand why people do it as the colours are totally unrealistic at best.
