If you're interested in a much simpler and faster way of displaying images I recommend IPyPlot package:

import ipyplot

ipyplot.plot_images(images_list, max_images=20, img_width=150)

It's capable of displaying hundreds of images in a grid-like format within just 60-70ms

You would get a plot similar to this:
