For some samples, check out: <a href="http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/appast/index.html">Apianus</a> (<em>Astronomicum Caesareum</em>); <a href="http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/blkin1/index.html">Blake</a> (<em>Songs of Innocence and Experience</em>); <a href="http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/bclbzr/index.html">Braccelli</a> (Bizzarie di Varie Figure); <a href="http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/catthf/index.html">Catesby</a> (<em>The Natural History of Carolina</em>...); <a href="http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/duruwm/index.html">D&#0252;rer</a> (<em>De Symmetria</em>...); <a href="http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/colhyp/index.html">Colonna</a> (<em>Hypnerotomachia Poliphili</em>). And on and on. The interface is great (use arrow far left at top for larger page image) but there's a slight browser resize in FFox. A couple of author names are placeholders for future uploads it seems.
