Google images is not a database. Google does not own or keep or hold
any of the images. All google images does is creates a thumbnail from
the website and uses that as a link to the website. They do though put
a frame at the top of the page to let you know where you are and when
the image was cached by google. It's a search tool not a website.

I had a quick try of what you did and it is that website doing the ads
not google. For example:
http://www.buyvintageads.com/product.php?title=1920-BELMONT-HOTEL-New-York-Promo-Ad-Wow
The main image is the one the page describes, then at the top and
right and a row below are ads the site chooses to host to get money.
Scroll down and there are thumbnail images.

Again, it's not google it is the website. They also have a script
running to break out of google's frame so if you click the thumbnail
link in google images it by passes the framed page.

Unfortunately the owners of the site have a lot of domain names
pointing to the same files and use a lot of catch phrases to appear
first in the pages of links google provides.
