Summary

A scan of a soft-ground etching which I made in the mid-1970s of a mediaeval misericord from Vendôme, France.

(Cf. http://ica.princeton.edu/misericordia/display.php?country=France&site=&view=country&page=236&image=12011
"Das Chorgestühl wurde vom Abt Louis de Crevant (1487-1522) in Auftrag gegeben und von seinem Nachfolger Antoine de Crevant (1522-1539) vollendet. Das Chorgestühl wird von musizierenden Engeln überragt, seine Miserikordien sind mit Schnitzereien verziert, die anschauliche Szenen aus dem Alltagsleben und die Arbeiten im Laufe der Monate darstellen. Nur noch die Hälfte der ursprünglichen Chorstühle ist erhalten geblieben: nachdem sie während der Französischen Revolution verkauft wurden, konnten sie 1838 wieder aufgestellt werden." http://www.vendome-tourisme.fr/node/644)

This scan is in the Public Domain (however, I retain ownership and copyright of the original artwork and any higher-resolution photography or scans derived from it).
