Actually, 14384 has images in two sizes.  The displayed version is
clickable, displaying a larger version.

Not all PG books have the problem. Have a look at:

This was one of my submissions.


It may be that the books with small images are older submissions. This
one from 2004 could use larger illustrations:

Hi.  I originally just wanted to look in the list archives to see if
this has
already been discussed but I had to subscribe first for that.  I decided
I'd
post after all.  Apologies if this is the wrong list but it's the best
list I
could find.

Anyway, my comment was that when reading books from Gutenberg that have
images,
the images seem awfully small.

Searching the website brings up

    Don't try to keep the highest resolution possible - for HTML, we
typically presume 96 DPI (dots per inch) with 256 colors, which is a
"medium" resolution.

    If you're an experienced HTML maker, you know this stuff; if you're
not, take it as a guideline that you should generally aim to keep your
images in the 40K to 60K size range...
