The photos are taken from the Metropolitan’s website. The quality of the scans is extremely good and, apart from two small sections, complete. I pasted in the missing piece (between Sections 12 and 13) with part of one of my own photos. I have not corrected the centre of Section 13, a vertical narrow strip to the left of the monkey with the two knives. Here is a comparison
