General notes

'Ink inscription appears to be possibly Maria Gawler, on comparison with her diary (PRG 50/24A). "Grandfather of R. & L. Poulden" refers to Rhoda and Lydia Poulden, who probably wrote the ink inscription. Note that Lydia was very meticulous. Also, comparison of Gawler's signature on tickets to 1851 exhibition seems to be in a similar style, confirming that it is likely to have been his pencil inscription re Murray. Note spelling of Jonathon Horne.' [Note by Kathleen Patitsis after an interview with Mrs Deidre Warcup, 23 December 1983. (see PRG 50/33A)].
