Richard -The news report states that various "experts" were called in to address questions such as these and the answers they can up with satisfy logic and known facts. That does not mean that these plates are from Adams; it means it is plausible that they are. We will likely never know for certain.
If folks understood how very many of the important pieces they see in major museums are either fakes or acquired by improper means, they would be amazed. The entire area of provenance is full of smoke, mirrors and
uncertainty. Eric Goldstein Too bad he didn't leave any fingerprints on any:-) -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USAdickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
