Topic: Lesley Jackson and her horizontal optic ribs

[chopin-liszt]

I reckon ribs need to be able to be felt - I don't care if they're horizontal, vertical or somewhere inbetween; on the inside or the outside.

Optic refers to the effect being visual, the ribs wouldn't need to be felt.

The term was in common use within the collecting fraternity long before its use by Jackson.
