Dear Colleagues, Last week you may have noticed a somewhat cryptic message about original sin. Indeed one person commented!

We all know Tinho and we look forward to meeting Kate who is a landscape artist (a suitably mappy occupation) Congratulations to Tinho and Kate. Tinho's email is [log in to unmask] Who will be the first to come up with a cartouche on a map depicting Adam and Eve and the Serpent? I will buy you a drink at the next Map Curators' Group Workshop. Ann Sutherland Convenor, Map Curators' Group, British Cartographic Society [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
