[comp.graphics] Standard

We are searching for raster versions of "famous" monochrome and colour 
pictures such as are used in image processing research.
Actually, any format will do if we can also get access to a format to raster
convertor. We are particularly interested in getting hold of:

Girl and toys,
Boy and toys,
Gold hill (steep village street with countryside)
Boilerhouse (picture with lots of shadows),
Side view of man with camera on a tripod (actually there are at least two
pictures of that description around - we'd prefer the one with the overcoat),
The various portraits from the 60s of one or two people that are often used,
Any single frames taken from videoconference test sequences.

Anything else that fulfils the following would be appropriate:
Good dynamic range,
Low noise,
No restrictions on copyright,
Portraits completely devoid of sexist overtones (e.g. not Lena),

Is there an FTP site with a good selection of these?

Thanks in anticipation
