Can you predict the maximum height of your images?  If so, then perhaps you 
could define all the divs to be that max height, with the background image 
displaying just once per div:

         div
         {
                 background-image: url("frogs.jpg");
                 background-repeat: no-repeat;
                 height: 300px;  /* your maximum image height */
                 width: 200px;   /* your fixed image width */
         }

         <div style="
                 background-image: url('frogs.jpg');
                 background-repeat: no-repeat;
                 height: 300px;
                 width: 200px;
         ">
         </div>

where "300px" is your maximum image height and "200px" is your fixed image 
width.
