You can do this - by anchoring the frames in a header or footer. Note 
that the frames themselves do not need to be physically at the top or 
bottom of the page to achieve this: they can appear anywhere, as long 
as the anchors are in the header or footer. Unfortunately, this means 
that the contents of your frames will also be identical on each page 
- which is clearly not what you want.

I suspect this problem cries out for using a drawing (Draw) document, 
not a text (Writer) one.
o Set up a single page with your images for that page.
o Select the page in the Pages panel.
o Copy.
o Paste the page - with identical images - as necessary.
o In subsequent pages, select each image in turn and use Insert | 
Picture... to replace it with the image you need there. The new image 
will occupy the same space.

I trust this helps.
