There does not appear to be a PDF scan of the original Czech language editon of the book. I have only been able to find a relatively poor quality image of the title page. However, copies of the images litter the Web in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colours. We have tried to make this collection more uniform and consistent, but have added additional alternate versions of some of the images where they are particlarly interesting. Images in portrait shape are 450 px wide [the larger version is 1100-1200 px wide] and those in landscape shape are 750 px wide [the larger version is 1200-1300 px wide].
