NOTES:
[1] The French and Company stock number for these curatins is documented in the NAMA registration files. The corresponding stock sheet, however, is missing from the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, French and Company Stock Sheets, box 35, folder 4. The sheet with the stock numbers immediately following these curatins’ stock number is also for fabric. It is reasonable to expect these curtains may have been acquired from Keller and Funaro at the same time.
