Island Magazine on Panoramas

At the risk of disappearing into a Möbius strip, I took the PDF of the article Panorama for Sale: The Birds Eye Views of Prince Edward Island from the Fall/Winter 1988 issue of Island Magazine, converted it to a TIFF (using the built-in Mac OS X Preview application) and then stitched together the 5 individual page TIFFs into a single 1280x8250 pixel TIFF. Finally, using the same approach I used to create a viewer for the 1878 Panoramic Map itself, I created a OpenZoom-based viewer for the article.

The result is Panorama for Sale: The Birds Eye Views of Prince Edward Island, which is, it turns out, an rather more readable view of the article.
