HISTORY

Notes

Following discussions with the curator Claire Roberts, it is likely that NN5774 is Acc. No. 14758. This is an 1887 acquisition and the stock book records are extremely brief. This number is from an acquisition of two models acquired from the same Sydney source - neither have any location history. While it is not possible to be completely sure of the attribution it is a reasonable assumption and assigning this unnumbered object with this number will allow the model to be located and moved to Castle Hill Store. It is recommended that further research be undertaken or assembled on the collection of Japanese architectural models.
