NOTES:

• Copyright: Since all of Tissot's works are over 100 years old, all of these images are copyright-free. Enjoy!
• Pages: The above table uses "a" and "b" whenever two different illustrations are on the same page.
• Downloads: Click on the underlined volume.page numbers for scanned images, if available. Warning: Very Large Files!
• Disclaimer 1: At high magnification, some dust from the scanner plate is visible on some images. So they may not be optimal for high-quality printing, but are probably good enough for most uses on the internet (esp. since they are provided here for free!).
• Disclaimer 2: Many of the above images need to be cropped more closely, to remove surrounding text. We'll do that some day, time permitting!
