Close. I asked for some art including some nice legs. You know, curvaceous.

As no-one's guessing, I'll tell you. 1010-1030. The Harley Psalter. Good, eh?

Is it a good read? If so I'll read it after I've finished the latest Jeffrey Archer book.

I think it's like the Rupert Annuals - if you're not very good at reading, you look at the pictures and try to read the rhymes (fewer words to guess than the prose). Maybe that's how Jeffrey Archer books work too, but I've never opened one to check.

I figured it was old, but I thought it was Oriental!

I'd have said the same! Interesting, eh?

As did I, hence my reference to the Japan / S Korea world cup.

Aye, once I knew what it was it made sense.
Should have paid more attention to the Latin behind the illustration.

I was just interested if there was some tangible link, but if Gemini is right, it's a big fat no.

Gemini is pretty much spot on. There wasn't much international crossover in artistic styles at the time, so really it's just someone having a crack at something different, and it's cool that it looks like something they'd never likely seen before.
Does my head in the way influences have to be justified or reasoned in the creative world.
I don't give a f*ck if there are "obvious allusions to so and so" in a film, music, picture, book or whatever. Unless you've literally copied the thing, and it works, then it's all good.
Keith Haring put it best:
"Art is for everybody"
Don't gatekeep or curate it to levels of unfathomable tediousness.

Yeah, I'm not keen on that hunger for always creating a 'narrative of connections' even where none existed. I only looked to see if there was anything tangible, like artists travelling thousands of miles (and several centuries) and importing their styles.
