In the bequest of John Maclean, who became famed for his slave-trading practices, there were in addition to the sketches numerous objects originating from the Growing City. The archaeologist S. J. Robin attempted in vain to unearth these related unusual references in what is known as the Pescarelli Inventory, and neither did the Gabion Republic offer further enlightenment as to the types and location of the objects.
