Context (Analysis)
The display label found with 1923.1063 [A-P] gives Norway and Denmark as the source, however, the attribution of Ransom Collection is in a later hand. Additionally, the draw label associated with 1923.1063 [A-P] only lists Denmark as the source. This suggests that the display label may have referred to additional material that may have been on display alongside the Ransom material. As such, Norway has not been added to the Source field for 1923.1063 [A-P].
