No offense taken.  Early on I feared that it might come to this, 
especially when we started talking about rendering in poster size.
It wasn't what I'd bargained for when I took on resposibility for the 
figures.  I thought originally that a fairly brief handling would suffice.
What I would like to do is slide up to the Metropolitan and take a look 
at how figures are usually handled in this genre.  I don't know if they 
have a Marlow but they do have a nice group of Canaletto's.  Maybe I can 
see some details of clothing more clearly.
I probably should have done this already, but every time I go up there I 
get drawn in by the primitive collections.  Was just up there on Friday 
soaking up the Art of Ancient Cities exhibit along with the African 
Masks, as usual :)  Anyway, the comment about the level of detail in the 
figures is a valid one.  Just give me a little time to think about how 
best to solve it.  If I don't think I can, I will gladly hand off any 
sources and responsibilities to others.
