P.83200 to P.83212 came from envelope now marked C414/13/1/ which was found inside envelope now numbered C414/13/ which came from the box formerly numbered 162, now re-numbered C414/.

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “Africa ; east Africa; ?Ethiopia”, but matching the image to the publication shows that the photograph relates to the Bornu Empire, an African state between 1396-1893, in what is now known as Nigeria. The Place field has been amended accordingly. [Source: www.britannica.com, JD 18/1/2010]
