Anyway, my guess is North Against South because of the soldiers. That would have been my guess too. That ship looks fluvial, but of the fluvial novels, 800 Leagues on the Amazon doesn't fit, because the ship is actually a big raft there, and the style of ship in the picture looks North American, and doesn't really fit the Orinoco (The Mighty Orinoco) or the Danube (The Danube Pilot, which also features a smaller boat). So yes, the ship and the war scene fit North Against South (although those hats in the illustrations look almost Mexican). |

There is a cloud service called Imgur I was using imgur too. You don't even have to create a new password, since you can connect with your Google account. And yes, it's better to log in because otherwise the images you upload will be deleted after a while. |

North against South is correct!
I tried uploading it on imgur and doing it that way since that’s what a quick google search suggested, but instead of posting it, the image didn’t load. Not exactly sure what I’m doing wrong but when I preview it it won’t show.

I posted instructions there: julesverneforum.boards.net/thread/36/hosting-images-imgur |

Hmmm. The first image looks like it could be central/south America or somewhere warm, but the other two don't. The man on the left in the second image is clearly a Captain and the man in the last image is the same man talking the the man in the uniform in the second. His attire is likely an important clue as to his identity. The first image rules out Captain Hatteras. The second image looks like an island. Thought it was Godfrey Morgan for a moment but the third photo rules that out.
I'm going to go with The Castaways of the Flag.

(Clue: It's not Hatteras or Godfrey Morgan either). Regarding the first picture, it's true that the way the injured man is dressed makes it seem warm, but notice the hat on the older man's head in all pictures, even that one. It's not the kind of thing you'd wear in a very warm place. Have another illustration from the same book:  |

This is Les naufragés du Jonathan. The technique in these drawings is quite different from what you see in the earliest novels.

Les naufragés du Jonathan, published in English as The Survivors of the Jonathan (also published in English divided in two separate volumes titled "The Masterless Man", and "The Unwilling Dictator"). The original Jules Verne manuscript without Michel Verne's changes has much more recently been published as Magellania, although I like Michel's changes, as they flesh out the story a lot. Anyway, this is a little-known posthumous novel that nevertheless I liked quite a lot. The old guy in the pictures is Kaw-djer, the good-hearted anarchist, one of my favorite Verne characters. I'm guessing phileasfogg has not read this one, otherwise, even though I refrained from choosing a picture of the wrecked "Jonathan", I think the violin and the kid in the third picture would have rung a bell. Funnily enough, a few books ago phileasfogg posted pictures of The Lighthouse at the End of the World, and I wrongly thought at first it was The Survivors of the Jonathan. This time the random number generator gave me this one... we have already had two of the posthumous novels, but it was by chance, as I'm just taking the number the generator says (as long as it's not one we have already done). I'll allow someone else to post a new book now, or I will do so myself in a couple of days if no one steps in. |

even though I refrained from choosing a picture of the wrecked "Jonathan" This makes me think that, when we have to do Five Weeks in a Balloon, it's going to be difficult, as any picture of the balloon would make it completely obvious. But if we mislead by purposefully choosing the few pictures without the balloon in it, it will feel like cheating. Oh, well... I think I would just go ahead and post the balloon, even if it's obvious. I love that illustration of the elephant dragging the balloon. |

OK, here are my three illustrations:

The Adventures of Captain Hatteras? The first image is a bit more obscure, but the second one seems like it could been from that, and one of the men in the third image looks a bit like Hatteras. It is missing any North Pole scenery which makes me hesitate to choose it, but its my best guess at the moment.

The image of the violin and the kid stumped me. Maybe I will read that one next. I am currently in the middle of rereading Michael Strogoff, as it has been a while since I read that last. |

Have another guess (anyone), and I'll post a fourth picture tomorrow. |

OK, here are my three illustrations:
Let's see... the first picture looks like a cave, but the maritime catastrophe in picture 2 doesn't seem to fit with any of the two underground novels... There seems to be a corpse in the sea in picture 3. I'm not sure at all, but... could it be The Survivors of the Chancellor? IIRC they made a stop someplace with a cave.... |
