Notes

The Indispensable handbook credits this set to York & Son, but the 1905 Riley catalogue marks it as by 'Maker E', i.e. Wrench, and its position in the Medland and Band of Hope catalogues supports this - although it appears twice in the latter, in both the 'York' and 'Wrench' sections.

In the Newton 1899-1913 catalogues this is presented as a single set (titled Cornwall) along with the 12-slide additional set numbered 51-63.
