The Devils - or Mephistophelian Figures - Italy c 1880 these figures were given to the then museum of Applied Arts & Sciences (now the Power House Museum) by P A Cullen and are sometimes on display there. They definitely came from Charnwood, the home of Alfred & Elizabeth Hart. June Theomin remembers seeing them there. Her letter about them is with the Stuart Cohen correspondence file.
