Running it in cool-retro-term with the IBM Dos profile:

Theoretically, if run on a terminal that supports Sixel (most modern virtual terminals) or the kitty graphics protocol, and it got support, it could display graphical thumbnails and inline images too).

Cool-retro-term doesn’t seem to have Sixel support currently, but it looks like someone is banging on it:

Last month:

@tsujan @stefonarch I am working on porting the latest konsole sources to pure Qt. If I understand correctly, Konsole has sixel support. If I succeed in the porting work (I’m at least a couple of months from any reasonable result), we can have sixel support.

There’s also an emacs lemmy client, lem.el. That has image support if you’re running emacs in a GUI environment, though I don’t know if there’s a way to convince emacs-in-a-terminal to translate it to sixel or kitty.
