Image:Seattle_and_the_Orient_p111.jpg is the full page. Just the pictorial part is at Image:Seattle Schools - 1900.jpg. The images of the individual schools are also all available; some of these required some manipulation of their respective backgrounds, because in the original layout the pictures overlap; also, for similar reasons, the top of one chimney of the Cascade School is "faked" by copying another chimney.
