"How merrily we live that doctor's be,
We humbug the public and pocket the fee."

Notes

Some records will match image=true without an image being available, for example https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/A_2008-3037-02401 states the image is not available yet and https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_Heal-67-260 states there are no images available and does not include any image links.

Testing for poor results includes:

• Any pre-existing matches to accession number
• Identical duplicates
• Date of production starts with year > 1950, which should avoid most derived modern works like this telephone card

Sadly, the British Museum have not released the archive quality full resolution scans, but have chosen to only release images capped at a maximum length of 1600px. For example, File:Sangoku yoko zue 三国妖狐図会 (The Magic Fox of Three Countries) (BM 2008,3037.07005 1).jpg is available to the public at 1,154 × 1,600 pixels however the EXIF data shows the original scan is 4,761 × 6,602 pixels. The BM website zoom feature appears to only be a way of looking at the 1600px version and does not use the original size scan (the viewing frame pulls in this image using the name prefix "huge_" from media.britishmuseum.org).

Images are named in the format:

<title or object types> (BM <accession number> <optional image sequence>).jpg

Where there are multiple sequences of images of the same museum object, all later images link back to the first image with no sequence number in the other versions parameter.
For example File:Kanadehon Chushingura (BM 1973,0723,0.28 11).jpg links back to File:Kanadehon Chushingura (BM 1973,0723,0.28).jpg which itself then lists all eleven other connected images in the "File usage on Commons" section of the image page.
