- Additional information from staff reads, "Ernst Herzfeld inadvertently duplicated the numbering of page 29 through page 35. He later corrected the duplicated set of numbers which now ranges from page 35 to page 47. Unfortunately, in his four inventories of objects, he did not apply these corrections when referring to sketchbook 28."
