Aesthetically pleasing libraries (Part 1)
Courtesy of my mother (a medical librarian) and from her friend, Juan Maria de la Camara de las Heras, of the Hospital-Ribera in Valencia, Spain, I offer the following series of images of libraries. I will post about five each day until I run out. It is unclear whether Juan took the pictures himself...regardless, they are exceptional. Enjoy.
The images are:
Strahov Monestary Library, Prague
Strahov Theolog. Hall (orig. Baroque cabinets)
Strahov Theolog. Hall (stat. of John the Evangelist holding a book)
August Herzog Library, Wolfenbuttel, Germany
Angelica Library, Rome Italy
Abby Library, Gallen Switzerland
Labels: bookish, scary beautiful libraries

The photos of libraries look like those (I recognize at least one for sure) included in Candida Hofer's book entitled LIBRARIES. Her photographs are gorgeous.
I agree. I have that kicking about here somewhere. It may be a mix. I was forwarded the lot and will post them over the next few days...can never look at too many lovely libraries.
Juan Maria de la Camara de las Heras is the friend of a friend - I don't actually know him. Aren't the photos great? (Can't understand why they didn't include one of MY library.) mom
