On the margin of this has been a picture.A roughly painted diaper ground remains, but an oblong patch, probably of finer vellum, which must have had a figure (either a suppliant or a dead man in a coffin), is gone. Above this an early copper engraving has been pasted on the page and torn off all except a small corner. |
