Notes

The 1901 Peter Feathers catalogue uses the title Freaks of a prize ox, although the slide titles listed there are slightly different from other listings. The known examples of the slides also bear the same title.

The 1906 North of England Temperance League catalogue also uses the title Freaks of a prize ox, though without a list of the individual slide titles.
