Seeing both of these JUXTAPOSED, what strikes me is how I (unconsciously) reinterpret the original into a more "modern" calligraphy/physiognomy--you know what I mean? Beside the point of "flow" that you guys kindly argue works in my favor, the LeBrun etching guy just looks so old fashioned, doesn't he?
