<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 854239, member: 5833&quot;]&#039;Portrait of my sister&#039; is also listed as having been shown in the exhibition of 1846.&nbsp; Suppose could be a different version/sister.&nbsp; Imagine doing these compiled &#039;dictionaries&#039;, like the one for the RA contributors &amp; Forrer&#039;s massive work (or the OED!), entirely by writing up, then sorting &amp; resorting index cards by hand, perhaps with some assistants who turned over frequently.&nbsp; If the 1838 catalogue was published contemporaneously with the show, would expect it to be correct in most ways.&nbsp; The Mrs./Miss discrepancy is something that probably happened regularly &amp; think we can go with Miss.&nbsp; One possibility is that Nichols was supposed to exhibit in 1838 but withdrew her contributions after the catalogue was printed, electing to hold them back until future years.&nbsp; Graves may have had access to other documentation that was more accurate about what really was &amp; wasn&#039;t shown.&nbsp; The index for 1838 picks up only Highgate, work #489, not the sister, #790, so a couple of slips in 1838.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
