Processing Information
This may be a duplicate catalogue description in the printed legacy catalogue the "Papers of Sir Professor Patrick Geddes" (1998), as this item appears earlier in that catalogue under the same description. Exhibits, or facsimiles often appeared in more than one area of the "Cities and Town Planning Exhibition" and the 1998 catalogue sometimes reflected this, rather than providing only one description per one physical item. See the New Town of Edinburgh series in this catalogue, (Ref: Coll-1167/B/13/4).
