Ex A.B.Triggs Collection (Lawsons Sydney 1945, together with dump). The owner's grandfather purchased this lot at the auction. Mira Noble incorrectly identifies NDV/4 as being in the Dixson Collection (on information from the late Phillip Spalding). This error has been confirmed by the State Library, which checked the attribution against the Dixson Collection.
