I don't have any specific photos of my Brooks saddles, but you can find some shots of my bikes w/ saddles
here,
here and, closest shot of new B-17
here.
My oldest, a Brooks Pro, is still going strong after 32 years.
As for saddle angle, I see no need to tilt a Brooks saddle differently than any other saddle. Leather saddles are often slippery when new and so some people feel a need to tilt them up slightly. My experience is that this is not necessary after a week or so of riding and application of Proofide (which should be the only conditioning you should use, except for perhaps an occasional clean w/ saddle soap).
