The links to images throughout this article are designed to spawn a second, and occasionally a third, smaller viewing window. If you keep this window open and visible on your desktop, then you can both toggle between windows (and so view images alongside the text) and browse through your own 'history' of the images you selected to view (using the Back/Forward link at the top).
