Great News,

 if you are wanting to look at over 300 books,

which are housed in the Los Angeles-based Getty Museum, which has developed a program to share more than three hundred books in its Virtual Library, above “The Rosebud Garden of Girls” by Julia Cameron. Virtual Library title: “Julia Margaret Cameron: The Complete Photographs” by Julian Cox, Colin Ford, Joanne Lukitsh, and Philippa Wright,

 over the last five years each unabridged volume, drawn from the Getty Publications Archive, has been cleared for copyright issues and is available for free download, above  “Art and Eternity: The Nefertari Wall Paintings Conservation Project 1986 – 1992” and “Julia Margaret Cameron: The Complete Photographs” seeing the book mentioning Nefertari, I was reminded of this article where Cosmo Wenman took some 3D scans of her head, despite, as he commented, the state-run German museums reluctance to release the original scans, using Germany’s freedom of information laws. The museum referred the matter to the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation — known in Germany as the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (SPK) — which oversees Berlin’s state museums. According to Wenman, the foundation initially refused to grant him full access to the scans, instead offering him to inspect them in a controlled setting. “The organization was treating its scan of Nefertiti like a state secret,” the artist wrote in a recent article about his campaign to release the files, it is an interesting story which is here if you fancy a read,

 “Pilgrim Flask and Cover with Marine Scenes” (circ 1565-1570), Workshop of Orazio Fontana, tin-glazed earthenware. Virtual Library title: “Italian Ceramics: Catalogue of the J. Paul Getty Museum Collection” by Catherine Hess, the initiative is a way to keep compelling and historically important books available even if they have, literally, gone out of print, topics in the Virtual Library collection range from fine and decorative art genres to features on specific artists, truly a researchers treasure trove.
