New images

This is a listing to request assistance in obtaining illustrations, scans or similar material that fits the Wikisource criteria. Usually most requests would be filled at Commons: where possible in line with the Wikimedia image collection philosophy.

Do not forget to sign (~~~~) your requests, and indicate both the article they would aid on Wikisource, as well as any information in hunting down the images should other members have large collections or libraries.
