     Dear mapsters,
 
     I just examined an interesting rose of the winds, by E. Baeck, 1710,
     with the usual fleur-de-lis at the north, cross to the east, and more
     unusually, a sun ? to the south, and definitely, a heart to the west.
 
     Any thoughts on that heart?
 
     I've read a bit on compass roses, wind roses and such...but just do
     not remember seeing the heart, or the sun, described or explained.
 
     A very curious Alice...awaits some intriguing replies.
 
     Many thanks.
