Context (Labels & Markings)
The Catalogue card for Z 27836 states 'G-S Collection' which has been interpreted as G.S. Graham-Smith. The label adhered to the object is the same as seen on 1894.65 linked to Arthur Wright - though the label linked to this record is missing the top section where Wright's name would be printed. This name has therefore been added to the Source field.
