The Voynich Ninja

I once joked that my Voynich obsession was cheaper than golf and less harmful than porn...  If someone hands me a golf club I may reconsider..

Golf is decidedly more harmful than porn, imho... 

You may see a lot of medieval breasts if you search for bathing Batsheba being spied on by King David

No surprise, 99.9% of these pictures are better quality than Voynich Manuscript:

Voynich is also tiny, which probably made an impact. 

Most of the VMS breasts are 1-2mm in size. Most of the women themselves are only ~2cm in size.

Yeah, a bit of Voldemort vibes again:
the theme or matter of this thread is showing most openly that the headline of it should better have been called 
"Did Voynich Manuscript illustrators never see women breasts?",
since all can clearly see the problematic "optimizations" of the retracer...

The same observations might suggest the illustrator(s) never saw women's necks, shoulders, elbows, feet...

It's as obvious as day is day that the illustrations are not even remote attempts at anatomical, or any other form of, literal accuracy - just look at the crude brush/quill strokes all over the illustrations.

But yes, breasts... a notably, and sadly, male fascination
