Hey all, historian/academic here, not so experienced with bulk downloading of materials on the web. Is it possible to bulk download the entire collection of document images in TIFF format from a digital collection like this at the LOC?

https://www.loc.gov/resource/mss19398.mss19398-066_0168_0925/?sp=2

I notice that the address string for each image just counts up (sp=2, sp=3, sp=4, etc.), is there some way I can use this in conjunction with some sort of web downloader software? It's embedded in an image viewer though, and the default file type in their image viewer is JPEG. You have to select TIFF from the dropdown in the lower left and click "Go' in order to get that file type. I'm guessing this causes issues when it comes to bulk downloading? Thanks for any help and let me know if I should post this elsewhere.
