Other Information:
Archive Note - there were two negatives and two prints previously catalogued as EP.A.216.
The two negatives are almost identical but do have differences and have separate film numbers (32) & (33).
Since both prints labelled EP.A.216 have in fact been produced from the negative with the film number 2(32) rather than 2(33) as stated in the original handlist, I have assigned this negative [1998.341.216.1] since it is the primary source of the prints.
The other negative (33) is in fact associated with the two prints previously catalogued as EP.A.346, and I have therefore reassigned this negative the number [1998.341.346.1].
