I can assure you!
thanks, Rob, for saving me the trouble of hunting down the York facsimile.

that's why i found the late 16th c. watercolor from Louvain so facinating :

so much detail !
i was hoping to dig up some others, preferably earlier.

All very minimalist, really....
really.
positively dis-embodied
in a few of them it sort of looks like a bird's-eye view of a tonsured guy
with a book in front of him and part of his garb (the surplice?? i'm
vestmentally challenged) behind, but *no* body at all.
and i never considered that the placement of the various elements was actually
significant (duh).
(maybe this url will work : http://wwwlib.umi.com/eebo/imageadjust/22284/2 )
very curious images indeed.
thanks again, Rob.
