Looking for more things
Thanks to all who helped me in finding these. Unfortunately, I've not
been able to track down Cope 1877, but I had varying degrees of
success with the other three, which I now share with you at:
http://www.miketaylor.org.uk/tmp/goodies
In that directory you will find:
Owen1859-order-of-fossil-and-recent-reptilia.pdf
Knight1897-brontosaurus-v2.jpeg
Zallinger1947-mural-brontosaurus.jpeg
And also a special bonus, which I scanned from my copy of the Giant
Golden Book of Dinosaurs: a much overlooked swamp-bound Brachiosaurus
by Zallinger that has its own glory:

Enjoy!
