Dear friends,
some days ago I found several reprints of single-leaf woodcuts, showing
halo displays. 22 of these woodcuts with halos from 1551-1645 are
available on our homepage. All displays were seen in Germany.

Remarkable is a woodcut of Wegeners arc seen in Hamburg on 23 July 1589.

Do you know halo drawings before the year 1551? I heard about halo
drawings from the Bronze Age. Is this true?
If you live in Europe you may find similar reprints of woodcuts in your
library. Please write me an e-mai if you have success.
Regards,
Mark Vornhusen
