Prague, Czech Republic, March 28, 2011 - A newly published photo of the ancient Philosophical Library at Strahov Monastery takes the crown as the largest interior photo in the world. The image of Strahov Philosophical Library, at 360cities.net/library, has a total resolution of 40 gigapixels, or 40 billion pixels.
Shot by photographer Jeffrey Martin over a period of five days, the image reveals the highestresolution view of any interior space that has ever been captured. In the image, thousands of priceless, ancient books are visible, in detail down to the worn leather on the spines; the fresco on the ceiling of the library is captured down to the brush strokes and cracks in the plaster. In short, this photo captures the details of room in a way that has never been done before.
