Large Spaces on Little Screens: Four Examples

The first two represent interior gallery spaces.

The Cabinet of Archduke Leopold William
Painted by David Teniers the Younger, this is one of several depictions of choice pieces in the Archduke Leopold William's famous 17th century collection in the Netherlands. The Hapsburgs later moved it to Vienna, where it became the basis of the Kunst-Historische Museum. Mentioned in John Berger's Ways of Seeing.
The Gallery of the Louvre
Samuel F.B. Morse painted this in 1831-3 and exhibited it to connect American artists to the glories of the Louvre via his easel. It was one of the last Salon-catalog paintings.

The next two represent outdoor landscape spaces. They are scalable.

Landscapes of the Great Basin
The Great Basin is often said to be unrepresentable, but this site links astronaut shots down to local panoramas and hikers' photos to give it a try. The two main imagemaps require the DJVU browser plugin.

A Walk in Lower Manhattan
Surely the most thoroughly (if not excessively) mapped bit of real estate in the world! This is a modest site that shows the use of SVG vector graphics for an imagemap. Any map in PostScript can be converted to SVG and links added. Requires Adobe SVG Browser Plugin.
