Hola!

A few months ago, I tried my hand at painting an milkmaid milking her
cow.  I got the picture from "Women in the Middle Ages" by Francis and
Joseph Giles on page 148.  If you've read the book, then you know that
the pictures are very fuzzy.  I showed it to Duchess Willow and she said
the colors I used were very wrong and I really needed to take a look at a
colored picture.  We went back to her home and we looked through nearly
every book she had on illumination (again, thank you, Your Grace!), but
to no avail, we could not find a color picture of the illumination.  I
found online the MS Bodley Beastairy book, "Bestiary: Being an English
Version of the Bodleian Library, Oxford MS Bodley 764" that this
illumination might be in. 

My question is this....Does anyone have this book or even a color copy of
this illumination?  If so, can you scan the picture for me? I will be
more than happy to prove a CD to burn it on, if need be.

Thanks! 

Maria
