On f75r, there is a separate "waterfall" on the side of the "umbrella" at the top, that feeds a narrow channel that eventually joins the "water slide" near the nymph with the "staff". But there is also a raised rill with a scalloped parapet that connects the "waterfall" to the top of the "slide", along a curved path. What is the point of that design? Why would the Author chose to draw that detail?
On f75v, the upper end of the "channel" at the top has a rim, as if it was meant to be a tube rather than a channel. If it was just the channel feeding water to the pond, why would the Author draw it in the middle of the paragraph? Or at all?
But beware that the drawings on this page, most other drawings, were You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Thus one should not draw conclusions about the nature of the scene from just one or two details, which may have been added or grossly mangled by the Retracers. Like that rim around the top end of the channel, the wavy lines along it, and the long and narrow "island" in the middle of that pond (which apparently was one of their most dramatic hallucinations).
