King's Library

At the British Library recently, sitting in the cafe, I took a snap of the King's Library and later noticed these shadowy images. Might have to go back with the camera and do some more -
The King's Library was formed by George III and used to be housed in what is now the Enlightenment Galleries in the British Museum. Its 65,000 volumes are now displayed, venerable leather spines out, in a huge glass cube.
The books are accessible (by library staff) for reading.
