Context (Other)
The reason as to why there are two names in the 'Maker' section of the Production tab is due to alternate spellings being seen with the artwork. MN0126.356-MN0126.359 are seen together with a note with the name 'MACALL', however on the back of MN0126.357 the label reads 'MacColl'. Due to it being unclear as to what name is correct, both names have been included.
