A picture book is a great idea, but along the lines of the wonderful effort on the Old Judge Book, there are too few individuals that would pay the necessary costs to research, publish and support such a book. You would likely sell less than 250 copies. There are currently only a few images , among the 4000 + different known cards, which are missing from modern collector's access. Rhett's website is the best online image source and likely will be for awhile. The California Historical Society in San Francisco houses the Dick Dobbins Zeenut collection, but has restricted access and charges for each individual image (No cameras are allowed in the research room)
