The subject of this drawing was a patient of the neurosurgeon Geoffrey Jefferson and UoM Library also holds his patient case files (JCN). This patient would have had the patient number 1939/5 in this collection but unfortunately the file has not survived.

A number of rough sketches created in the process of making this drawing can be found in the collection of Davison's working sketches, see DDS/3/3.
