Xpath select multiple classes

<div class="one">
    <a class="two" href="Something..."><img src="http://..."/></a>
    <p> stuff.... </p>
    <p><img src="http://....." /></p>
</div>

I have this silly HTML which I am parsing, as you can see there is one main class called one and another one nested called two. I am trying to parse all the images in class one, but apparently the XPath I have is only catching one image, which is the image from class one

I tried this:

//div[@class="one"]/img | //a[@class="two"]/img

But apparently I am not catching from class two, but only from class one is there anyway to do this?

I am using lxml.html's xpath feature.

Try this Xpath expression :

//div[@class="one"]//img

Test : 

xmllint --html --xpath '//div[@class="one"]//img' \
    'http://sputnick-area.net/ftp/downloads/testSO.html'

OUTPUT

<img src="http://...">
<img src="http://.....">
