I don't think these images add much to these pages. I'd rather see them in a separate article. To the points about different piece sets/themes, you could aggregate similarly themed examples into a "set" article.
I second this idea. A discussion on designing physical pieces for chess (both orthodox and fairy) would be a good idea, especially taking some of the thoughts that have been mentioned in this discussion. It'd be a lot of work sifting through images to find acceptable ones, but in the end I think it'd be worth it.
(Other things I wonder: How, in a one-color piece, does one show the difference between a Knight's horse and a Zebra, or a Leopard and a Tiger? How do I figure out how tall a piece should be? Stuff like that.)
