Whilst most lots offered in this and the proceeding sale evidently formed part of a large collection formed around the time of dispersals of the Duke of Argyll (1949) and Lockett sales (1955), the present vendor's notes about this example also originating from the Argyll acquisition is not substantiated by his tickets or reference in the 2006 sale catalogue.
