Is it something I should track down, if only to be part of the conversation?
Probably not, it's one of those pictures -- like in "From Viking to Crusader" where there is a picture, but not rigorously footnoted/referenced text to back it up. Which can make for a 'bad' source at times. I've also seen it in other big, colourful books from the council library, and even though I photocopied the picture (because it was an incredibly cute drawing) I didn't write down the title or even the author. :(
