Scope and content
1. 1901, May: receipt from Margaret Reeks to Gowland for payment of £4 3s 0d, for 'three drawings for reproduction', a 'Japanese drawing' and three views of a lead-smelting furnace at Laurion', and 'two diagrams', one of Roman pigs of lead found in Britain, the other 'analyses of modern commercial lead'.
The 'three drawings' and the 'Japanese drawing' were probably those which appeared as figs 1, 2 and 3 in Gowland's note on 'Remains of a roman silver refinery at Silchester, Archaeologia 57, 1900, pp 117-119.
The 'three views of a lead-smelting furnace' were used for fig 10 for Gowland's article 'The early metallurgy of silver and lead', Archaeologia 57 (1900), p 392, where Laurion is not mentioned, and re-used for fig 9 in his 'Silver in Roman and Earlier Times: I. Prehistoric and Proto-historic Times', Archaeologia 69 (1918), p 148, where Laurion is specified.
The second 'diagram' was used for table IV, Archaeologia 57 (1900), p 405; the second cannot be readily identified.
2. 1901, May: receipt from Claude Higgs to Gowland for payment of £3 0s 0d, 'for 21 lantern slides, including prints, extra negatives, etc.
These were made before Gowland's work at Stonehenge began, presumably for use with a lecture on some other subject; Gowland's paper on 'The early metallurgy of silver and lead' was initially read to the Society on 9 May 1901 (Proceedings XVIII (1899-1901), p 355) and published with 27 figures in Archaeologia 57 (1900). Possibly among the lantern slides included in the gift of Gowland's papers made to the Society of Antiquaries in 1925 (Antiquaries' Journal 5 (1925), p 219).
3. 1901, 23 April: receipt from F Anderson for payment of £2 15s 0d, 'for drawing eleven pigs of lead in the British Museum' and another in the Geological Museum.
Probably used for Plates LVII and LVIII in 'The early metallurgy of silver and lead', Archaeologia 57 (1900), between pp 398 and 399.
4. 1901, June: postcard from F Haverfield to Gowland, noting details of the inscription on a pig [identifiable as no 27 on plate LVIII]; note on card, Anderson to Gowland, confirming that he has made the alterations to the drawing.
