That's cool about the WikiSource parallel text+image page view, TIL. Thanks! As an example flow (since it took a minute to figure out): we can start at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclopædia_Britannica https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclopædia_Britannica then click to navigate/browse volume > section > topic to get to a text page, then click Source tab, then click a Page Number (maybe hunt around for the correct page number), and see the parallel view, text + image. With previous and next page buttons available, retaining the parallel text + image view.

Following up, another WikiSource flow is the following: 1. Go to https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britan... 2. Click button "Search the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica". This currently goes to the page at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=&prefix=1911+Encyclop%C3%A6dia+Britannica&fulltext=Search+the+1911+Encyclop%C3%A6dia+Britannica&fulltext=Search https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=&prefix... 3. Enter the search term and click Search. (There is auto-suggest for some topics, but Search button seems to give more complete results.) 4. Get to the text page of interest, such as https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Anthracite https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britan... 5. Notice the left margin contains hyperlinks like [105] whwere 105 is the page number nd links directl;y to the side-by side view of page 105. Click the [105] link on the left (for example), to get to https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3AEB1911_-_Volume_02.djvu/116 https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3AEB1911_-_Volume_02.djv... which shows the text-and-image side by side (for that page). This flow avoids the hunting-for-the-right page step, by using the direct links.
