Custodial History

2 negatives were placed by AJBW in in sleeve 80, containing images of the view from the kastro (fort) of Leros. However, this image does not seem to be one half of this pair but in fact an image which is out of the original order when Wace first took the photographs. It could be the negative from Sleeve 31, otherwise unacounted for, described by AJBW in his index to this album as 'Theotoku, Th? B. Slab' (handwriting abbreviated, menaing unclear). IThe image is of a Christian (Byzanrine) reliquary, denoted by the crosses inscribed on the sides.
