Must have been a very thin brush to put the yellow under the all ready
existing black line. Assuming that was possible, can you show that this
type of 'paint-on/under alkyds' treatment was used anywhere on medieval

the retired professor?
The map is a fraud until evidence (not speculation) demonstates
otherwise.
