Slideshow usage

Image rendering in collection pages is not currently straightforward.

In the main collection page types, e.g ArtistPage, ArtistPage, ArchivePageItem there is usually one main item image. However, in many instances there will be also be 'additonal images'.

Although the main image is included in the template markup, ultimately both the main image and any additional images are displayed (i.e inserted into the markup) by a js slideshow initiated in ui/src/js/TateUI/components/TateSlickSlideshow.js

It's therefore important to note that image-rendering is not yet consistently implemented in these pages and that a consistent approach will require re-writing the current slideshow component or replacing it with a more up-to-date solution.
