Jump higher, damn you, higher! :-)

I refer you to the drawing at the
bottom left of f84r.  In this pool there are two general rows of bathing
women.  I refer you to the top row, sixth (and last) woman on the right.
Look between her legs - well, a little lower, just above where her feet
would be.  Tell me that's not writing.

Erm... "that's not writing". :-o

  When I first saw it I thought it
said "Sulpher", but that would be silly?  As with other text, I saw a brown
tinge to the image in this area, and used John Grove's color tool in PSP-7
to enhance.  I haven't got the knack of his tool as yet, but there is
something here that was definitely written faintly in brown before it was
covered over with blue writing.  Pull back from the "zoom" position for a
moment and take in all the rest of the blue strokes in the pool.

I too have looked at the very pattern you're talking about - but take away the blue wash and it seems to disappear. I wish I could make your "sulfer" appear through image-processing magic... but I haven't found a way. Perhaps Jon Grove will have more luck: it may be more of a borderline case than it seems to me. :-|

This is not a stroke pattern, but an intended pattern.

I'm not at all sure what you mean by this: are you perhaps claiming that this pattern was originally written on the page, then deleted, but that when the blue paint was applied, it spread down to the indentation of the original (but deleted) writing?

All the same, from my image analysis, I'd say that if there is something there, it's written in blue, not in brown (however faintly). But even so, I still can't make it out. :-(

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
