The New York Public Library has announced a new digital library now available to the public. Here are a few of the galleries that caught my eye in the Printing and Graphics category. Unfortunately, the image-viewing function seems exceedingly buggy, even after installing LizardTech's Express View 3.4.2 under IE. Firefox seems even less well-supported.
Charting North America: Maps from the Leonard Slaughter Collection and Others
The Floating World: Japanese Color Woodcuts by Kitagawa Utamaro
Dust Jackets from American and European Books, 1926-1947
Posters of the Russian Civil War, 1918-1922
World War I Photograph Albums and Postcards
UPDATE: Apparently the server couldn't handle the enthusiastic level of response. The "bugginess" was nothing more than server constipation.
