Thanks Wim. I only have a photocopy so we’ll done on finding an original. I’ve found another pre-Jones article and I hope to write about that soon.

Of course any folly-material before Jones was extremely rare. Keep on thegood work.

Do you think BJ’s sketch of Toat Monument has a touch of the El Grecos?
