You're right and 
We actually ALSO have images for most of the history of art prepared for swell paper, in addition to the ones created for the overlay print method that the book was published in 

To be honest we would need either a grant of money or really robust team up of colleagues to meaningfully do something with this vat of love that Lou, Francesca, Teresa and I with so many art historians and people who are blind created....
