Other Information

LS.51083.GIJ to LS.51089.GIJ were found with the piece of paper now numbered C246/4/ which was in wooden box formerly numbered XXX. It has now been renumbered C246/ by the cataloguer.

The inscription on the box as well as a descriptive list of slides pasted on the inside lid of the box indicates that it originally contained Lantern slides from Dovecote and belonged to J.H.Bullock. However, at the time of cataloguing, Lantern slides belonging to G.I. Jones were found inside it.

This catalogue record has been updated with the support of the Getty Grant Program Two. [Alicia Fentiman 9/4/2008]
