>This is a really, really cool link that was sent to another list I'm on. 
>Some of you may have seen it already, but I only just now got the chance to check it 
>out.  It is a large group of 16th century Persian illuminations, very 
>pretty, lots of detail and good descriptive text.  And, best of all:
>
>You can ZOOM IN on the illuminations!!!
>
>Yes, no sitting with a magnifiying glass trying to figure out what the 
>heck is going on in the painting.  Just zoom in.  It is really, amazingly 
>cool.
>
>Be warned though, one of the illuminations features a guy in a indelicate 
>position with a camel, so if you are sensitive you may want to click past 
>that one.
