There is more to the pictures than you think. Certain points of view have
been deliberately overlooked and sidelined on this list. Through the
pictures an awful lot of clues can be found if you know where to look.

Examining the text is an absolute goldmine. It has given me so much
information on provenance.  GC has put so much background work into this he
should be praised for his efforts. Most on this list wouldn't recognise
serious effort if it ran up to them and offered them a free pizza. Apologies
to all those I do not believe to be in the aforementioned class.
