HISTORY
Notes
The Jandaschewskys toured eastern Australia with Wirth's in 1910. A young May Wirth performed in this tour. The Jandaschewsky family collection was kept together by the last remaining family member, Arthur - also known as 'Jandy'. During the last years of his life 'Jandy' sold the collection to his friend John Anastasiadis. Mr Anastasiadis kept the collection for a 25 year period, having built a repository for housing and exhibiting it at his own home. In 1994 he sold the collection to the MAAS in order to keep it together, and in New South Wales, according to 'Jandy's' wishes.
