actually, you can't. As is usual with these viewers, the image is delivered in tiles. To get the whole image at full resolution on one screen you would need a monitor approximately 60 inches by 40 (or 1.8 metres by 1). I know of people who spend their time happily writing bits of software to put together the whole image out of the tiles, but this is of doubtful legality even if it gets to work. Besides -- I'm aware that some (all?) tiling software has algorithms built into it which involve either scaling the image up or down, to match the magnification steps, so what comes out is likely to be different from what went in. Do we get a vote here? or a voice? or anything at all? p

Am I the only person who is bothered by this very common arrangement -- we can link to the images on the BAV site but we *cannot* incorporate the images (unless we get all the permissions to do this, and that is no easy task) into our own sites? That is: we have to use their viewer; so we cannot do anything else with the images we might want (e.g., enhance them in various ways; or link them dynamically to transcripts a la T-Pen so we can see text overlaid on the image, etc. I think there are really strong arguments in favour of libraries etc NOT trying to maintain this hold over the images. It will make scholarship based on the images increasingly difficult. Peter
