To get the best from this site you need to download a plug-in, but unfortunately this is a challenge that makes the Krypton Factor look as easy as a game of Snap.

Once you have achieved the seemingly impossible and plugged the system in to its source of enrichment, a kaleidoscope of brilliant images appear. The landscapes, portraits and abstract photographs tease and entice the viewer further into the site.

This on-line photo-library allows you to surf through thousands of images in the Hulton Getty Picture collection, from Watergate to Wimbledon, every picture tells a story. If you have been looking everywhere for a visual taster of China then simply type in the word and 491 images will be found.

This site will prove invaluable to those people who are fed-up with the leisurely service provided by traditional picture libraries. It will also be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates art. The form and tone of some of these snaps are absolutely fabulous darling.
