Each icon is a small painting, composed with very strict rules like a visual haiku: the size is 32 x 32 pixels, and the palette is 16 colors only. Within these constraints, the icon artist attempts to make a painting. A remarkable amount can be done within these limitations. I once won a bet about whether or not I could depict the Taj Mahal recognizably in an icon; see row 21, column 40. Or the sinking of the Titanic, row 22, column 18. Each icon here is independent save for a few that are intended to lie side by side (Hotel California, row 12, columns 11-12, and of course the kangaroos). There are a few 3-d pairs that require eye-crossing. The icons are presented in alphabetical order by title. You could spend hours examining each little painting individually. I’d strongly suggest you do something else instead. Image cannot be appreciated, if that is the word, except at the LARGE or ORIGINAL size.
