looks like you're a bit too optimistic: ReportLab's drawInlineImage
method expects a *filename* or a PIL Image object, not a string
containing "<img src='...'>"...

try passing in the filename you used to create self.image1.

(or use PIL.Image.open(filename) to create a PIL object, and pass
that one to drawInlineImage)
