Stitched image examples

• This scroll needed to be photographed in sections to capture sufficient detail, and then stitched to create a seamless reproduction. The stitched overview and section images are delivered from the Library’s page-turning interface.

• This map needed to be photographed in sections and stitched. The finished, stitched image was retained, and the section-images discarded.
