Susie, the upper right constellation is Virgo

Okay I surely don’t have the yellow dot. That’s concerning since I spend my time on tiny details like this one lol. I should mention on this page the VANISHING STAR in the bottom right of the page. HIDDEN AWAY. Why erase a corner star? Also the constellation I always thought was the “great square of Pegasus”. Thoughts? Mostly on the star! Lol ALSO! The “key wedges” top left and bottom right. They all have an eye, a key, the bubbles and something about NORUMBEGA mountain on them. The base of those two triangles highlite the border words “for the” “gold”. (?) where do you see the reference to bubbles on the two wedges? In the blue eye wedge I see the section directly south of witches pond outside of bar harbor, the section of park loop rd south west of bar harbor (which the darker green section below the humps in the road are Cadillac mountain on the left, and kebo mt which ascends into Dorr mountain) and the norumbega mt section. In the red eye wedge I see norumbega mt again, the solid red line and yellow dotted line section over water, and the tip which just has Pk on it, and the mystery section of map with the POI. Where do you see the bubbles references? Side note on the tip of the red eye wedge “pk” section. I can only find three mountains with peaks that are called so. Gilmore peak (shown on the key page also up on top), bald peak, and valley peak. The “pk” being upright suggest to me that the map section pictured is oriented north south helping match it on Topo maps. I feel valley peak sloping north east toward valley cove is the best fit after staring at topo maps. It is just south of St. Sauer mountain. Has anyone else worked on identifying that peak before?

I’m taking the two sections that look like pink and purple fabric to be the two peaks of the bubbles. That shape reoccurs throughout the book.

Susie, the upper right constellation is Virgo I don't see how to get Virgo out of this star configuration. I have laid out all the constellations I can think of and none exactly matches this. The closest I found was Delphinius - the dolphin, but it's close, but not an exact match.

Hmm, I don't see Virgo in those stars either.
I can't remember what constellation has the red arrow running through it either. So my astronomy needs some help.

illuminatinps - yes, I have compared the stars of Virgo before with this image. I see the similarities, but like delphinius, it's not an exact match. So on this we can just agree to disagree. We do agree, though, that it probably doesn't matter.

Have we made a systematic examination of the arrows on this page? 1. Apple arrow points straight down (due south?). Presumably an Isaac Newton allusion to the discovery of gravity. Linked to Sir Isaac illustration in Masquerade? 2. Behind the tropical fish / weathervane image, a bright green background piece looks like an arrow pointing to the letter F in the right border. 3. Orion's "arrow" in the constellation under the red eye. Points to the letter D in the border? 4a. Sagittarius arrow in orange circle departs from the usual representation of the symbol, which should point to higher realms. This points due east. 4b. Sagittarius figure points westward. 5. Instead of pointing up (due north, or toward the north star) the arrow in the big dipper image points to the border star at lower left. 6. Three tiny "one way" arrows point how to drive around the Park Loop road around Black Wood campground. 7. In the blue eye wedge, the small white blueprint arrow points toward the word "gold".
Other things could be interpreted as arrows: - the hands of the pocket watch - the bow of the boat on the weathervane - the points of the compass rose - the line of vision in the eye diagram - the beam of light from the lighthouse - the one hand visible of the eight-limbed Vitruvian man - points on the border stars
If there is a directional code (or another kind of code) or a system in these arrows, it could be a key to solving other illustrations and clues.

[its interesting that the watch on this page has a red second hand. The only other clock in the book with a red second hand, or a second hand at all for that matter is the old lady page. It must be important as it’s the only thing it could possibly be referencing.

I've always thought the apple was indicating which direction is down such as in 'down east.'

I've always thought the apple was indicating which direction is down such as in 'down east.' I have wondered if this was possibly one of those "hidden numbers" - apple falling down, Sir Isaac Newton, the measure of gravity's acceleration equalling 9.8m/s^2 - which, at the very least, is the rate at which Fandango is falling to the ground

I've always thought the apple was indicating which direction is down such as in 'down east.' have you found any reason why we would need to know the cardinal directions on each page? I had the same thought on the apple, since it has a dotted line pointing straight down and then the apples shadow pointing south east. Or it is just indicating to solve something to do with shadows depicted in the book. There are lots of N’s, W’s, east, etc. hidden throughout seeming like there is something involved with working out true directions of each page. But I just can’t fogure out why.

. Doesnt the arrow point from the A in the border to the Apple ?

. Doesnt the arrow point from the A in the border to the Apple ? kind of. It kind of hits the left leg of the A. So yes it could be.
