  2. Could I please use one of your illustrations (the one showing arrays of numbered cogwheels) as a header for a short story I am writing for my blog. It is about an insurance company with a steam-driven analytical engine (steampunk meets insurance fraud). I will acknowledge the source and include a link to your blog.
