Images are generally cited in notes, not bibliographies.
If the image has no title, provide a brief description as a title.
Provide as much information as possible to direct your reader to the image you are citing. When citing a page in a print document, the illustration number (if available) follows the page number. Use the words table, graph, figure (abbreviated as fig.) when it is used in the source text.
For an image used in a PowerPoint presentation, put the image url or a brief citation in a small font directly under the image. Do not make a list of image citations at the end of your presentation.
Important! If you have an image that you found using Google images, do not cite Google images as the source. Click on "view this image in its original context" and cite the web page where the image is published. The image URL should never end in ".jpg".

For an untitled political cartoon that includes text, use the first few words of the text followed by an ellipsis (three dots) as the title. If the cartoon has no author and no text, describe it in two or three words and use that description as the title, skipping the author information.
