Illustrations: Benjamin says in letters in 1934 and 1935 that he wants to include illustrations of the objects and places as well as verbal descriptions, and has located (and worked in) photoarchives and in the Bibliotheque Nationale. A largish album of images for the work was seen but then lost. Rolf Tiedemann found a few plausible ones among his papers and added three photos of Arcades as they appeared in the 1930's when the photographer, his friend Germaine Krull, took them. So Tiedemann printed 16 plates at the end of V.1 of the Gesammelte Werk (1985) with captions identifying them and their source, but not linked to specific places in the text.
Most of these (10--no Krull) were reproduced in the Howard Eiland and Kevin McLaughlin's English edition (1999), along with 30 others, scattered throughout the book with captions and with a specific fragment indicated for each one. These are:
Buck-Morss(1989) is even more profusely illustrated, partly because she includes more images from the 1930s and Benjamin's era as he developed the project and more recent images that illustrate B's themes, including a picture she took of the wax figure adjusting her garter. All of the images except those in the "Afterimages" appendix are included as numbered figures with captions and referred to at a specific point in her text.
The images in Buck-Morss are the source of most of the images in Peaker's Fragments Web page--10 of them, to be exact. On the Web, they have no captions, numbers, or explicit links to the text, save that they are placed on one page rather than another. The wax figure adjusting her garter appears on the Prostitute page, for example, as does a famous Atget photo of mannequins in Parisian shop window. This treatment increases the fragmentariness of presentation, at least as compared to Buck-Morss and Eiland-McLaughlin. The list:
categories: The Arces Project was organized into 38 folders ("Konvolutes"), many with a topic labels. All of the clippings and notes bore in some way on the label topic, but many of the entries were also cross-referenced with key words to other Convolutes.
