Magellan

'Regarding the picture of Ferdinand Magellan. It is very good.

When I saw the thread listed, I wondered if there would be any reference to the Magellanic clouds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellanic_Clouds

I first leaned of them in the 1950s. I had a book possibly about A4 size pages or so, and it was not like a text book it was more like a serious subject comic-style book and it was black and white text on paper and also large line drawings and throughout it were also blank squares about 2 inches by 2 inches or so each with a number near it and in the centre was a double spread pull out sheet of numbered stickers printed in full colour on glue-backed-paper, like the glue on old fashioned envelopes, to cut out and stick in the squares, thus producing quite a colourful book. One of the pictures was of men on Magellan's ship looking up at the sky and one pointing at what are now known as the Magellanic clouds.

I am just wondering whether you might like to consider making a second version with the Magellanic clouds in them as well. Your picture already has a black background, it would perhaps being more a matter of deciding how to feature them.
