<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 935943, member: 5833&quot;]On this page&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/gems/tassie/default.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/gems/tassie/default.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/gems/tassie/default.htm</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; you are given several ways to search.&nbsp; Usually you take your best shot at the name of the subject &amp; consult the alphabetically arranged Index, which is in French &amp; that style of script in which it is hard to tell a lower case S from a lower case F. You get used to the script &amp; if you use it enough you learn the quirks, e.g., there are no entries for Cupid or Eros, Raspe, the compiler, calls him Amour in the Index; the letters I &amp; J are alphabetized together as if the same letter.&nbsp; The explanatory text is in parallel columns of English &amp; French.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I really have to do some hunting, I find it easier to open the site in 2 browser windows &amp; use 1 for the Index &amp; 1 for the plates &amp; text.&nbsp; I always have to increase image size from the default 3 to at least 4.&nbsp; It&#039;s an old &amp; complicated site, a bit clunky to use until you get some practice with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have the impression number or range of numbers, you can enter in the box on the main Tassie page with the search options &amp; be taken straight to the plate, ranges written by putting a hyphen with no space between first &amp; last numbers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
