Dover could have imposed compilation copyright on the whole book.  In
fact, they did.  But they _generously_ (no smiley, I mean it) allow
you to use a few illustrations.  They retain the right to republish,
including electronically.
 
A gross generalization, but Dover owns copyright in those books.  Scanning
copyright material is illegal.
