False-color three-filter JWST/NIRCam images of 18 spiral galaxies in the redshift range 1 < z < 2.5 and in the stellar mass range 10.5 < M/M < 11.5. The images are 3.5 arcsec wide and high. Redshift increases from z = 1 on the left to z = 2.5 on the right, with two galaxies per redshift interval, one less massive than M = 1011M, and one more massive. For each galaxy we also show a residual image, highlighting the spiral structure, where a single Sérsic component has been subtracted. The top row shows two-armed spirals; the middle row shows three-armed spirals and the bottom row shows four-armed spirals. The number of arms is occasionally difficult to ascertain, but the presence of spiral structures is unambiguous in all 18 cases. The data and classification methodology are described in detail in Section 5.1. These 18 galaxies, drawn from the JADES and PRIMER NIRCam imaging surveys, are representative of the more than 500 galaxies classified with high confidence as spirals. The IDs refer to the catalog entries in the DAWN Archive catalogs derived from the various imaging mosaics (GOODS North/South, COSMOS East/West, and UDS North/South).
