Check out the LAST LINK in my previous post. It is this:

There is no French here. This is a Japanese news site, where you can see
ONE image of little owl (1951). (hey that's better than no image...) For
comparison, I tried to find an (visual light) image of little owl or
petit hibou or whatever keywords I can think of on google image but with
no luck.

I remember Picasso museum allowed to photograph as long as flash is not
used. So technically someone can walk  in with a digicam with image
stabilizing lens and get us a bit more decent idea of how the work is
presented...

I was thinking about buying a TSA-approved baggage scanner and also make
an x-ray version of step tablet, so that I can start a new zone system,
and write a book about PDN X.
