For those of you who are more web-savvy than I am, is there a way to download a full resolution image from a site where the site has downloading turned off?
The image in question is in the public domain (I'm fairly certain) as it was created in 1855 and donated to a public library system in the early twentieth century. The library, sadly, does not allow downloading.
Asking for a friend ...
... just kidding, I'm asking for me.
Gracias, danke, thanks, etc.

Alright, I'm not seeing it there. I also tried this (in Chrome) with CTL-U and searching the page for the URL before asking. Is this the same thing? The code looks very similar if not the same.
Not that I'm advocating theft or anything, but I want this map in the highest resolution I can get it in: http://cmdc.knoxlib.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15136coll4/id/6552/rec/1
Feel free to dl it

When I see cool maps I think will transfer well, I try to snatch them up in the highest quality I can. It's easier to reduce size/pixels than it is to add them, after all.

Well, if you want to know:
Using chrome developer tools, network tab
Each time you navigate the map, you'll notice the browser sends a new request containing zoom level and coordinates and desired size (512x512px)
The url looks like this: http://cmdc.knoxlib.org/utils/ajaxhelper/?CISOROOT=p15136coll4&CISOPTR=6552&action=2&DMSCALE=15&DMWIDTH=512&DMHEIGHT=512&DMX=0&DMY=512&DMTEXT=&DMROTATE=0
So, you edit the url manually (full size, scale 1, proper coordinates and a bit of trial and error) and send the request with curl (a command line tool) and store the answer in a file (in this case the jpg)
Et voila, Bob's your uncle :)
PS: If you're interested in non-US maps, I might get my hand on a replica of an old map of Bruges. My dad has one, or atleast he used to have one...
