Hi Fae You may not have seen my message to this list a few weeks ago that I had been in touch with the Director at Tullie House Museum, who thinks the copyright notice may be a mistake on their part - however he needed to check with the curator responsible who was on holiday at the time. I suspect the curator will be back now so this is a timely reminder to chase this up, which I will do!
