Administrative HistoryDrawn as part of the research for Agassiz, J L R. 'Recherches sur les Poissons Fossiles' (1833-1843/1844).
CustodialHistoryThe tear in the corner of the drawing indicates that it was probably once part of the series LDGSL/613 but was removed from that collection on the request of Enniskillen in 1849 (see Council Minutes, 2 May 1849). Enniskillen and Philip de Malpas Egerton had paid Dinkel's expenses for drawing images of their collection on the understanding the resulting watercolours would become their property once the lithographic process was complete.
