Administrative HistoryThis drawing is likely to have been originally attached to sheet LDGSL/613/4/100 in the Agassiz collection. Drawings made by Dinkel of the Egerton and Enniskillen drawings were supposed to revert back to the ownership of the two patrons who paid his expenses, but there were (and still are) a number of images from their collections in LDGSL/613. Enniskillen requested these drawings be removed and returned to them in 1849 (see Council Minutes, 2 May 1849).
