Thun Sketchbook rediscovered?

Post by Thomas of Monmouth »

So I read on Facebook that the Thun Sketchbook has been rediscovered after being though lost during WWII. I hope you can see the link below? There are some beautiful illustrations of gothic armour.

So, is this legit, or a modern work of fantasy/joke? Anyone know anything more about this? If its a genuine discovery (hell, even if it is a work of fantasy) I'd like to get my paws on a copy.

Pretty Legit. The rediscovery and re-printing involves Dr. Pierre Terjanian, curator of the Met. Tom B. put together a group order to save on shipping to the US. I think he got the last few copies. Sorry that you missed the notice. Here is the link, lots of nice pictures included:

Ah great, thanks Sean. I've taken a punt and bought a copy of the KHM annual.
