I’ve been radio silent for some time. I’m finally pulling through. And in the last few days I’ve really delved into my collection of portraits of women (and girls) of Cologne to add to my timeline of portraits. I’ve got so many new images, and really exciting ones, that confirm that my early use of them has been very appropriate.
On top of that I’m going to have to re-date and re-attribute some. Actually a lot.
I’ve also got my written information to go through which is a bigger mess. But I do have a bigger timeline of inventories than I realised. This is important because I’m working around a bit of a vacuum. When that doesn’t shrink with more sources then it’s a genuine vacuum.
