you might want a have a look at webmagick:

  http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/webmagick.html

The package mainly is a perl script for automatically creating
browsable thumbnail indices for large image collections. It is based on
perlmagick which is a perl wrapper for the imagemagick lib (as you
might have guessed).

It's highly configurable, and if you know a little perl and HTML you can
easily customize it even further...

Cheers,
Erdmut
