  • Assuming you are looking at a page in a collection for one image, eg. this one
  • check the image properties (usually via a right click on the image) and get its name: http://images1.fotopic.net/?iid=yixhr3&outx=800&quality=70 or
  • click on the image, go to the "noresize" version and note the URL
  • in both cases, look for the "iid=" which is followed by a six character image id, in this case yixhr3
  • use this id to fetch images.fotopic.net/original/<imageid>.jpg

    Found as Image:Heiroglyphs sample British Museum.jpg on Wikimedia Commons. Now deleted. Source of the non-photoshopped version and its licence are unknown.
    (If it is treated as a two-dimensional work of art, then it is old enough for a licence tag of {{PD-Art}}!)

    Someone apparently working in the Ford Motor Company offices in Dearborn near Chicago and obviously with time on their hands uploaded the image on the left to Wikipedia. A very sharp-eyed person noted: "second column from the left, five down. Is that a real animal or a photo-shopped monster?" After a bit of searching I found the image on the right with a curious space where the monster has been inserted.]]>     http://rhaworth.me/blog/2008-09-30-10 RHaworth http://rhaworth.me/blog/2008-09-30-10 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:59:29 GMT     CCC Coulsdon Carriage - 020 8660 6666

    This "Destinations" board is on display at Blackpool International Airport. I was amused and puzzled to see Sorrento marked because I had been there recently and I knew that it does not have an airport - it is on a steep peninsula - there is no room for an airport! The nearest airport is Napoli.
    They are not airports but package holiday titles. As in these offerings from Newmarket Travel. Either Newmarket have now dropped Sorrento or it was being offered by a different company.

    It now calls itself by the more realistic title of Kent International Airport. Same map in 2008:
