Yes, thank you for the assist Bob, though this fact I did discover as well.
Most of the characters are based on Holbein paintings which is quite fascinating to compare - Frank was quite an extraordinary engraver. I am guessing all or most of them are based on a painting or drawing of the time but, I am still hunting for a few. A couple of the figures are also fairly obscure as well.
I found in doing some research for the Bohenfest - a set engraved by Mohr - to have share this same characteristic with the figures being based on a number of characters out of paintings.
For me anyway, an interesting way to match my hobby with a bit of history, my other passion.
