Use the attached .vrt which creates a single large georeferenced image from all these .jpgs

gdalinfo world.topo.bathy.200407.vrt

Such file can be encoded into GeoTIFF with internal tiles and overviews for fast reading.

MapTiler Pro is more efficient on reading the individual files. To get the geolocation via ESRI World Files for the individual jpegs above see: https://gist.github.com/klokan/b654b18367f372d58c58
