Lost art found!
I must admit that each week when I post this blog page, I nearly "Freak right out" when I look at the illustrations that the week has produced! I do keep reminding all that these graphics have not been printed in centuries. They have been lost. Never captured for public record. The minerals that the plates are carved or etched on are so hard that the plate is still printable after 250 years or better! some are much older than that. The impact that this art work had on the European Art Establishment is a well kept secrete until this very day. Do take a close look and make files of what you like!!!
