CustodialHistoryThe torn edges [and repair] of the drawing would indicate that it was previously mounted elsewhere, and is therefore probably one of the drawings requested to be removed from the main collection (LDGSL/613/4) by Enniskillen in 1849 (see Council Minutes, 2 May 1849).
Access ConditionsAccess is by appointment only. Please contact the Archivist for further information.
