[QUOTE="mr.hutch, post: 13563, member: 1424"] I was very interested to read Ken Butler's letter in MPH 730, as I have a very similar item. It also was a present from one of the famly and comes under the rather unlikely name of " The Leonardo Collection ", although what the great man would have thought of the artwork can only be imagined. Those responsible, I suspect, used a transparency as reference and simply flipped it over by mistake. Long ago in another life I remember the rule that when handling cut film, glass plates, or transparencies the emulsion must face down in whatever holder is being used. Another example can be found on the back cover of Duncan Wherrett's excelent "Vincent" book, where Nero is shown in reverse. All this apart it's a very useful mug and holds three quarters of a pint of my favourie tipple. I wonder how many more such anomalies are out there? Not so much of a variant Ken, somebody just wasn't looking carefuly enough. Go carefully mr.hutch :) [/QUOTE]
