If your images are in *line format*, the best you could do is make the
return link go back to that line of markup where the thumbnail lays. You
can use the Anchor element up against the img tag w/ no problem.

On your "large image of the thumbnail" page, you would use the anchor
element, to return back to the position of the particular thumbnail,
w/in that page, as follows:

<A HREF="thumbnailpage.htm#thumbnail1">Go back to thumbnail page</A>

Then, in your actual thumbnail page, you would put the following Anchor,
prior to the relevant img tag, as follows:

<A NAME="thumbnail1"><img src="thumbnail1.jpg"></A>
