Fascinating. It's a shame that they seem to have pointed the camera too low down and chopped off the top of the pages in some copies, but amazing to be able to see this all the same.

@ Roseway,

You should be able to use the zoom function to show the whole image.
I believe they are aware that, as the very high quality photographs were done at different times and places, the image sizes sometimes vary.
I think a variable zoom facility is on their "To do" list when funds permit. This would be very useful when using the overlay facility.

Kind regards,
Walter

Ah yes, you're quite right. If I do a -zoom followed by a +zoom the pages are fully visible.
