VMS: both Rams have 2 toes and dew claws
VMS: the Lion has 5 toes on both front feet (small one is hard to see) and 4 on the left rear foot (right foot is hard to make out)
Exactly as anatomy dictates.
Whereas Wilfrids cat has 2 toes on 3 feet and the left front has possibly 3 ( polydactyly ?)
So perhaps the overall style of both images is rustic but the VMS artist is far superior in terms of anatomical detail.
Maybe Wilfrid got some tips from one of his forger buddies after he drew the logo and before he drew the zodiac roundels.
Well those are very exacting standards for comparison, which of course would obviate... for genuine, for forgery... just about 99.9% of every comparison ever made, on any item, for anyone. Which is of course the problem with the whole Voynich field, that there is nothing that is close enough to be a "slam dunk" for anyone, and therefore keeps everyone guessing.
That being said, it is only my opinion, as it is for you, for anyone on most of these matters, but I stick by it. Toe counts being off on some of the kitty's toes, some do match very well and have only two: On the Ram and on the Voynich cat. And I consider that pretty amazing. Also, think of it: Who represents any cat with two toes? It is almost as though the "cloven hooves" of the Ram were transplanted on the cat. A ramcat?
Anyway, we disagree, and so be it.
