Hmm. While there may be color slides of certain folios that have been made
on an individual basis, you made need to make a special request from Beinecke to
provide individual copies in color at considerable expense. Beinecke has
certainly made digital copies as displayed at their Digial website, but notice
that these copies come with a watermark. I gather that Jim Reeds has a
collection of color slides relating to the VMS, though I do not know how they
were obtained.

I can
scrape together a couple hundred dollars, if given enough
lead
time.
But I think I've misunderstood something-- I thought the
library
already had color slides of the folios, and I could get a
catalog
of them. After all, the Sky and Telescope article showed
that
color pictures of the astrological section
exist.
