The Xar file.
No excuse, except I should have been mowing the lawn, and this is more fun -- and I'm trying to learn how to reproduce engraved artwork, so it's been good practice.
Drawing this is very relaxing. Here's my vector attempt so far.
Thank you everyone.
Yes the resolution isn't the best. I have the image in a book and I think I'll have to scan it in for a better result.
I love what everyone has done with the image. :D I'll have to play around some more to see if I can use if for my project.
Thanks,
Jen
I have noticed a difference in recoloring depending of black or gray and left or right click.
More study for me.

I'm with Egg that hand-drawing these is relaxing, but -- I just downloaded Inkscape and tried out the auto trace.
Handrawn, I owe you an apology - that's an extremely useful and intelligent tracer, even with the tiny Dover files that are in my ancient IMSI Masterclips CDs.
And it's fun to keep clicking on Simplify [path] to watch the number of nodes going steadily down.
And that's with only the default settings. Thanks for the pointer.
Thanks due to Peter Selinger for writing the original tracer inkscape uses potrace - http://potrace.sourceforge.net/
Its the best tracer I know for vectorising my pen and ink drawing scans :)
Potrace broken link fixed.
