DW has always had issues with displaying remote images for me.
Because of that, I've always worked with local copies of the images and place them within in a DW Site Definition made specifically for a given newsletter.
As a final step before transferring code to the email service, I add in the necessary bits to create absolute paths to my server held images, with DW's Find & Replace tool.

I don't have any trouble with these remotely hosted placeholder images in Design view. You have to save (Ctrl + S) and refresh (F5). Or switch to Live view then back to Design view.
I'm using DW CC 2019 with this code.
<!doctype html>
