Well, you pretty much have your own answer right there. It seems that the
picture you loaded on your Newton is a JPEG. You need a JPEG converter to
see it, like the one you get when you register Newtscape. Either that one or
change the picture with Graphic Converter to another format, like PICT.

golf-ball printer n. obs.: The IBM 2741, a slow but letter-quality printing
device and terminal based on the IBM Selectric typewriter. The `golf ball'
was a little spherical frob bearing reversed embossed images of 88 different
characters arranged on four parallels of latitude; one could change the font
by swapping in a different golf ball. The print element spun and jerked
alarmingly in action and when in motion was sometimes described as an
`infuriated golf ball'. This was the technology that enabled APL to use a
non-EBCDIC, non-ASCII, and in fact completely non-standard character set.
This put it 10 years ahead of its time -- where it stayed, firmly rooted,
for the next 20, until character displays gave way to programmable
bit-mapped devices with the flexibility to support other character sets.
