Hi all;
I want to share with you this Archive Team link[1]. It is an old English Wikipedia image dump from 2005. One of the last ones, probably, before Wikimedia Foundation stopped publishing image dumps. Enjoy.
Regards, emijrp

People interested in image dumps may be also interested in my post relating to the GFDL requirements, which I think mean images need to be included in the dumps.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Terms_of_use&diff=prev...
excerpt:
"..the [GFDL] license requires that someone can download a ''complete'' Transparent copy for one year after the last Opaque copy is distributed. As a result, I believe the BoT needs to ensure that the dumps are available ''and'' that they can be available for one year after WMF turns of the lights on the core servers (it allows 'agents' to provide this service). As Wikipedia contains images, the images are required to be included. .."
