\input miniltx.tex
then you can
\usepackage{graphicx}
just as you would using LaTeX instead of Plain.
Then you have all of the syntax for \includegraphics .
Not every LaTeX package works seamlessly this way, but
many of the "base" LaTeX packages have been programmed
to do so, not being dependent on other LaTeX structures.
