To tie into another thread, if we could live without the surprise element,
we could do a much better job of permitting the populace to examine the
output of the scribes.

Set up an art show at the event. Put all of the scrolls to be awarded on
display with notes from the scribes and illuminators describing the hows and
whys. The heralds can claim the scrolls as needed before court.

There would be little point in displaying mass produced scrolls, but the works
of art could be seen and examined at close range by interested members of the
populace. My biggest gripe about the Ooh Ah Oh is that I can't get close enough
to the scroll to see if I think it deserves such lauds. Lots of bright colors
and gold leaf do not make a praiseworthy scroll (IMHO).

The other alternative is for the crown to simply not hand out the scroll. A
habit of retaining the award scrolls for a few months while they are on display
in some travelling portfolio would let people see the scroll while removing
a non-period feature from court. It also gives the recipient time to arrange
for an appropriate device to take the scroll home in. {I will suggest this
to Her Magesty next time I speak with her}.
