Incidentally, the NPG appears to have removed the zoomify feature from
their website (or at least it wasn't present on the sample of images I
looked at).  As a result, it would appear that WMF presently has more
detailed images on Commons than are available in any form on NPG's
website.  In the typical case, our images appear to be 3 or 4 times
larger in linear dimension than the largest view they currently make
available.
