It's a lovely idea, but from a design point of view, the site looks really quite unpleasant: the green pastel background, ugly font choices, an uninviting table of links as the home page, and inlining the figures far too small to be useful.
I would recommend at least following some of the design choices of the original book, so the difference between text and figures is not so jarring. But better to extract drawings out of the scans and relabel using a consistent set of fonts, while creating a more interesting and captivating layout. It would be awesome to see this book brought to life by a more modern design with all the benefits of hyperlinking (both internal and external, e.g. wikipedia).
It's a real shame the presentation is so poor, as the information is actually really useful and interesting. A great start anyway.
