Specifically, the Emerald City at a distance matte painting and the same for the Witch's Castle from the 1939 version of the Wizard of Oz, in as hi-res an image as possible. I've been Googling my @$$ off for 2 days but still haven't come up with anything that isn't too small or too fuzzy to be helpful. I am wanting to recreate those matte paintings as close as possible in Bryce (see...now it's ON TOPIC because I said Bryce), so if you know of a site with some good scans of those matte paintings, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks, John (Somewhere over the rainbow) :^)

One advantage of being older than dirt is you remember everything. Swedish university Network was part of the original DARPA network and the original Gopher system before pictures came with text on the WWW. Their FTP archive is still on their server and it's too old to be indexed. Check in this link.

Thanks Electroglyph, I found a nice book with full color reproductions at my local BooksAMillion, called the Wizardry of Oz. Has nice photos of both the matte paintings I was looking for.
