----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Colleagues, I had an inquiry regarding the supposed cropping of the "Mona Lisa." According to the student, her instructor told the class that the "Mona Lisa" had been cropped on the sides. Anyhow she gets extra credit if she can identify the cropper, the date of cropping, and what was cropped. This was via a telphone call, so it essentially amounted to the librarian earning the extra credit for the research. I looked everywhere and could not find a reference to the cropping. At this stage I am curious--for my own edification--as to whether this indeed is true. Does anybody have any leads???
