This page is organised into the following sections:
The abbreviation behind each contribution is prov. = provenance. (Museum curators
and antique dealers use it, so it somehow seemed like the appropriate term to
use). The original version of this page,
maintained until 11 October 2006, was compiled as contributions arrived, was
sorted in date-order by contributor, and had become a bit of a jumble.
