  And indeed there are many such examples of imperfect retracing especially on drawings where they could be more tolerable.
  
  Again, note that the original traces that were retraced were faded at the time, and those that were not retraced presumably were "ok".  Now the latter are quite faded. So imagine how the former would look like. 
  
  Here again is that hi-res photo of from the McCrone report:
     
  The visible ramains of original strokes are (A1,A2,A3).  Some of there were simply not retraced (top and bottom of the left leg of k, foot of the k, top of the left stroke of o , ...)  But some bits that survived because of imperfect retracing, namely around the crossing traces of the k, along the bottom of the o, at the base of r's plume...  On the BL 2014 images those examples of imperfect retracing are just invisible.
  
  All the best, --stolfi
