Dear Ms. Newton et al.: There are good large photos of Verne available in several places: The Annotated Jules Verne: Twenty Thousand Leagues, ed. by Walter James Miller, 1976, Crowell (now Harper/Collins); The Annotated Jules Verne: From the Earth to the Moon, ed. and trans. by WJM, 1978, same publishers; Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, ed. and trans. by WJM and Frederick P Walter, United States Naval Institute, Annapolis, Md., 1993; DISCOVERY itself on its Learning Channel unit aired a show by Atlantic Productions of UK, Sarah Strupinsky prodicer, Shaun Trevisick director, premiere August 10,, 2001. I'm sure I have good glossies that were used as originals, but you might be able to use one of the foregoing before I can get through all my boxes. I'll keep looking for you if you still need help. Walter James Miller
