<p><strong>Gallenga</strong> stenciled velvet bag, c.1920. It has shades of bronze/gold stenciling
on black silk velvet and is lined with beige satin. Gallenga often used up to nine tones of gold and
silver pigment to achieve the desired ombré shading. This is an exemplar of the mysterious,
antique, Gothic quality of Gallenga's designs. NEW LISTING </p></td></tr>

<p>Juliette-style rhinestone flapper cap, late 1920s. A diagonal mesh pattern of bronze
wire radiates out from a center diamond of prong-set rhinestones. At each intersection of the
mesh is a prong-set rhinestone. The contrast of glittering rhinestones with burnished old metal
conveys a feeling of old wealth seasoned over the generations. NEW LISTING </p></td></tr>

All the jpegs are 209 px wide. In the odd rows, use this style to position the jpeg in the first "column": width 418px; float:left; margin-right:-418px;clear:left;
The third "column" text would be styled: clear:none;float:left;margin-left:418px;display:inline;
In the even rows, use this style to position the jpeg in the second "column": margin-left:209px;
Assuming this is the right idea, how would I match up the selectors and the classes in the markup?
