Overload............ This hasn't happened for longer than I care to recall......... overload.

The Yellow Nose - Whirlwind Ledger. A number of issues.... Is this the same stuff which is with.... which is with......... ho hum, SIRI (Smithsonian) or is it different stuff unrelated to Moody..... We shall see, but I will now try again to decipher the lost notebook of Walter Campbell's interview of Yellow Nose using the pictos. Who nose......... maybe it will unravel the battle. Finally.......... oooh look up there. Yup, that's a squadron of 'em. Go figure..........

Yellow Nose - Whirlwind Ledger (Peter Powell)

Hi ho...................

[shan]

herosrest,

Given that I'm an avid collector of ledger Art in the sense that I trawl the world of the internet on the lookout of examples which I then download onto my desktop and clean up and make them more readable rather than having the money to buy the originals, I was very excited to see the Yellow Nose -Whirlwind ledger you posted.

Now I know Yellow Nose's work from other sources, and have copies of most of what I've found, but these were completely new to me, {actually, I haven't had time as yet to go through the whole book but am looking forward to that pleasure this afternoon,} so I'm sure you can magine my dispair when the site resolutly refused to let me download various images onto my desktop where I could examine them more minutely. So, in one sense this post is a cry for help. Have you any advice as to how to dowload these images, andd have you managed to do so yourself? I have to confess that am but a child when it comes to tecnology and can only repeat what has been successful up to now, plus the fact that my poor old mac
must be at least 25 years old, so any help would be much appreciated.


One other thing. I'm pretty sure I recognise work of the man who drew the image you posted of soldiers attacking an Indian camp, unfortunately I can't remember his name for the moment, but I know his style. Anyway, it could of course be depicting any number of such attacks on Indian camps over the years, but in this case I'm pretty sure that these are Reno's men we can see at the very beginning of the battle. Where did you find that image?

Shan,

I'm not familiar with Macs but run a search for "Snipping Tool for Mac." The snipping tool will allow you to make a screenshot of whatever you outline and save it as a jpg file.

Best wishes,
Diane

Thank you Diana,

I did manage to take a few screen shots earlier, or at least I thought I did, but then a little box came up and told me they'd been transferred to a clip board which I haven't been able to find, oh well, maybe I'll try and follow your advice tomorrow. thanks.

Hi Shan

Been mostly a PC guy myself. But if you used the "Print screen" function (I believe Shift+Command+3), the picture should be saved on your Mac, on the desk board. I think they'll just be named "Screenshot date+time". I know Macs change over time, so I think there might be a difference if you have Mojave or not.

I screen shot quite a bit, I usually open them up in my paint app.
You should have a clipboard app, try looking in your settings, you may need to turn it on.
Type clipboad in your search section, it should be at the bottom of your screen near the start function.
