What you are wanting is 'subimage' and 'subrange' in ImageInfo. 
These need to be specified in the image_info struct which is passed to 
ReadImage.

subimage - Starting image scene ID to select
subrange - Span of image scene IDs (from starting scene) to select

I can't answer if ImageMagick still supports this interface.

In GraphicsMagick, the rather obtuse SetImageInfo() function sets 
these values based on what it finds in the image->filename field.
