See What Jane Saw

On 24 May 1813, Jane Austen visited an art exhibit at the British Institution in Pall Mall, London. The popular show was the first-ever retrospective of the works of Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), England's celebrated portrait painter. Two centuries later, this e-gallery offers the modern visitor a historical reconstruction of that long-lost Regency blockbuster.

See what Jane saw.

Wanderer, I had not see that website (e.g. the User Galleries) before.

I'm down on Google now, because that is the sort of thing Google used to do.

Excellent.

I came across this site/project while going through an article on Google's lesser known projects (of which there are surprisingly quite a few and good ones at that).
Its good to see some corporate muscle working for promotion of art (even if it means more goodwill and publicity stunt for the Google).

In case you are interested, here's more details:

Those look promising. I'm going to check out the Google search tips.
