    Hello! Thanks for your comment. There are a few images on the site, such as the sketches Bentham had made of his Panopticon prison contained in Box 119 of his papers. Example here: http://www.transcribe-bentham.da.ulcc.ac.uk/td/JB/119/126/001 Many of these images do not need to be transcribed because we are most interested in the text written on each page. If you are interested in the architecture of the Panopticon, you can find more information here: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Bentham-Project/who/panopticon
