----------------------------Original message---------------------------- 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.
