View tiled photo thumbnails in command line

Is there a good way of showing around 4 pictures (fairly large thumbnails) at once on the command line, preferably tiled so that all of them are viewable. I tried using display but I'm not sure how to tile them. I'd also prefer if it was read only so that they cannot be altered in the viewer.

I just tried
Code:
montage image1.jpeg image2.jpeg

It did nothing. It just completely ignored my command.

Edit 2: Just a word of warning for anybody else as silly as me. montage writes to the last file specified as an output file so it just replaced image2.jpeg with a pic of image 1. I think the best option for me is to use montage to write to a temp output file then use "display" to show it.

Yes, I realize I'm having a conversation with myself here. Smilie
