Acquisition notes
It is almost certain that the acquisition numbers for 'Serena' and 'Emma' were accidentally switched when stamping the mounts (both impressions are now laid down). According to the register, 1895,0408.20 is 'Serena', while 1871,1209.275 is 'Emma', both impressions being printed in colours.
