That viewer wasn't working for me either, long waits, white screens, no thumbnails, but it's kind of working now (still a lot of white screens and long waits but at least some of the pages are coming up now).
I thought one of the many copies of the manuscript would have the drawings, but they didn't have this specific drawing and the original site might be the only one that includes it.
I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you both Marco and Koen.

Thank you for posting the page.
I couldn't get past page 40 in the viewer (nothing but white and grey pages most of the time and when I left it alone for 1/2 hour, it still hadn't loaded the next page). It was averaging almost 5 minutes per page to load (5 min x 300 = 25 hours ).
Unfortunately, the DJ viewers that I've tried haven't worked for me. I'm on an old-but-very-good PowerMac and I can't use the newer Intel-based DJ Viewers. Every other kind of viewer seems to work except DJ Viewers (very frustrating).
I don't know why the repositories and Viewer coders haven't realized this yet, but the ones that don't have a thumbnail option could reduce bandwidth on their viewers by about 30% by adding thumbnails. Many researchers are searching for something very specific and if it's an image, it can usually be located on the thumbnails. I've lost count of the number of times I knew exactly what I was looking for but had to laboriously page through 200 or 400 pages to find it.

Probably their website went slow because two or three of us were using it at the same time :p
It's actually hard to compare waist lines with the archer because his belt isn't visible, all covered by his magnificent sleeve.
