<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 2811217, member: 76440"]That's a catalogue I don't have [USER=76111]@Carthago[/USER] , but should look for. I've a copy of the Eton College sale, also by Sotheby's, in 1976. Interesting that Eton also seeded its cabinet with British Museum duplicates, similarly acquired in the late 19th century. It must have been a common strategy by UK educational institutions at the time, and perhaps the BM priced the duplicates to encourage such institutional purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
