This is a joy to discover!! Needs to come out of the shadows, I think. 

Jerome, if you write (edit) a condensed version of this I will create a Wikipedia page from what you send me. 

Unless there is resistance to this idea. Of course this can be amended at any point.

A cruel joke. I just look a look - well not even a look as the images are ANTI RETINAL!

This perhaps should be taken off the net and the material returned for a proper treatment (someday).

I still think giving everything to a professional or university archive could/would mend all the blows against the empire and restore TT's sense of dignity.
