One of the lyrical treasures squirreled away in the Macleay collection,
these boxes of labels read like an old-world travelogue. Adding to the charm is the fact that
the boxes were commandeered by the Macleay from an older supply of seashell specimens,
many names of which can be read in handwriting on the borders of the boxes.
