- Acquisition notes
- Probably acquired with other drawings by Cook in 1857 (see biographical note); when registered in 1974 it was noted that the drawing had been in the collection for many years and it was not known how acquired. The registration interrupted that of material from the Cruikshank bequest but this drawing was not part of that bequest.
