VMs: Old Man Winter



Hey all,

In your journeys through medieval manuscripts, can you be on the lookout for
any depictions of "old man winter"?  Especially any that are depicted with a
cane or walking stick, and/or wearing chains?

This relates to folio 86r2, which others have identified as the four
seasons.  The section starts with the fleur-de-lis as spring, when flowers
bloom, then summer, with nothing significant, fall, with a man holding what
appears to be an apothecary jar (harvest and time to make potions), and then
old man winter, the four seasons.
