So here&#8217;s the first of several (perhaps many) semi-successful images documenting my self-education in the art if translating German into ink and gold.  That&#8217;s a cow in the bottom right.  Cherubs at the top.  I&#8217;d like to post the accompanying text, but awaiting publication.  Besides, if the images are any good, they&#8217;ll be fine on their own, that&#8217;s a helpful guage maybe.
