It's perhaps partly related to having ADSL and also, I have specific needs/desires related to filching for my site. So Ayrdricks is fast with a large viewing area: 2 of my major criteria.<BR/><BR/>I find the TTP set at the British Library to be unnecessarily gimmicky. I just want access with speed and quality and don't really want magnifying overlays and superfluous bandwidth hogging accoutrements. (<A HREF="http://www.touchandturn.com/hokusai/" REL="nofollow">this</A> is a better example of turn the pages viewer to my mind; but of course, it's not cartography)<BR/><BR/>I do agree that the Nolli site is exceptional - the accoutrements add information and not just gimmicks.peacayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997731249622552311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882700598288467622.post-2628031247012864032008-03-16T21:10:00.000-04:002008-03-16T21:10:00.000-04:00I'm a programmer but I'm not a web guy, so I'm not...I'm a programmer but I'm not a web guy, so I'm not quite sure what's Flash and what's not. However, if you generalized the category to "best viewer", the following would be my two favorites.<BR/><BR/>1. The University of Oregon's <A HREF="http://nolli.uoregon.edu" REL="nofollow"/>. I just love the way they have multiple layers, including the symbolism. I did <A HREF="http://pondseeker.blogspot.com/2008/02/chasing-tangent-nollis-grand-plan-of.html" REL="nofollow">an entry</A> on this one.<BR/><BR/>2. The British Library's <A HREF="http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html" REL="nofollow">Online Gallery</A>. Check out the FLEMISH MASTERS IN MINIATURE link.
