Archival History

Negative originally incorrectly attributed to Frederick Ault. Taunt register, volume 6, page 16 makes a distinction between entries above a line - Ault negatives to 17237 - and those below the line, up to 17299, which are fuller and typical of Taunt's own entries in the earlier registers. The entries for Ault are largely abbreviated and lack detail.
