    The first 50 magazines of the Christian History and Biography magazine collection have beautiful pictures and charts included in the Logos edition.  I believe the second 50 magazines on have the articles without the pictures, due to copyright issues.  These magazines are truly a delight to read on a tablet computer, such as iPad.

    The cd of this magazine collection that is PDF, rather than Logos format, does not include the pictures and charts of any of the issues. 

    The Logos set is a great set of magazines and great resource.  I highly recommend it.

    I can confirm the Baker Reference collection has many beautiful
    images. I would recommend the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds for the
    NT and OT! Thousands of images, charts, and graphica and all tagged
    to come up in search fields. The Zondervan Bible Atlas is very nice as well.

    Baker has two more illustrated volumes coming out on pre pub. Get on it! :)

    I have been tagging books that have beautiful pictures with the tag "GoodArt". Here are some more:

    This series by Alister McGrath contains full-color reproductions of classic works of art (all included in the SPCK Alister McGrath Collection (11 vols.)):

    Images of the Saints is a media collection that comes with Verbum Basic+ Upgrade and above.

    The Lion History Series has beautiful pictures, as does the Ancient Context, Ancient Faith Series (3 vols.) by Gary M. Burge.

    Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary is another good one.

    You can hope that Peoples of the New Testament World: An Illustrated Guide gets unbundled one of these days.
