ABSTRACT

THE task of preparing an appropriate tribute to Cyril Aldred is doubly daunting, since he was renowned for his ability not only to instruct but, by virtue of his skilful pen, to delight his readers. Conscious of my own inability to match his stylistic elegance, I have attempted the next best, more obvious thing. It is hoped that the first of these brief iconographic offerings may prove enlightening and that the subject of the second may also entertain.
