Leonardo Da Vinci
Perhaps something should be mentioned about Leonardo's use of this technique in teaching and it being the inspiration for the modern kits, I saw this mentioned in a documentary some time ago which I can't recall, but this is the first ref that came up on google here relating it. Though it is interesting that it notes there were earlier examples from the 1920s but marketed for children, though unfortunately it doesn't go into any detail on that. There's also information about collectors and some notable examples, for instance a PBN 'Abstract Number One' with Robbins' signature which sold for $1000 and was displayed in a Smithsonian show.Number36 (talk) 20:37, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Specifically, a) Robbins repeatedly cited da Vinci, b) art historians disagree (https://hyperallergic.com/417802/your-paintings-are-numbered/) that da Vinci ever did this. DS (talk) 14:27, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Needs example images
This article really needs some representative images for a typical PBN image. Bod (talk) 21:27, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
