Jeez, crowd, whatever happened to reading the fine docs (or the
sources, for that matter)?

  image-load-path is a variable defined in ‘image.el’.
  Its value is
  ("/usr/share/emacs/26.1/etc/images/" data-directory load-path)

  Documentation:
  List of locations in which to search for image files.
  If an element is a string, it defines a directory to search.
  If an element is a variable symbol whose value is a string, that
  value defines a directory to search.
  If an element is a variable symbol whose value is a list, the
  value is used as a list of directories to search.

  Subdirectories are not automatically included in the search.
