per email from Martin Rush 15/11/2020: "HEIR 59442 & 59443 - "BIRRENS, BRIGANTIA, DUMFRIES." / "BIRRENS, BRIGANTIA RELIEF"
Here we have two HEIR images with consecutive Instarch box- and Heir-acquisition numbers. Their captions indicate that the two images were taken from different publications.
... The original sculpture is held in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, whose online database gives it this title:
"Stone relief sculpture of the goddess Brigantia depicting the native goddess of North Britain in the guise of Minerva, from Birrens"

per second email from Martin Rush on 17/11/2020: "Turning back to the Birrens Relief and Inscription (RIB 2091), I discovered after posting -- curious about the "Miss Jolliffe" mentioned in a footnote -- that Norah Jolliffe wrote a substantial paper on "Dea Brigantia" in The Archaeological Journal, vol 98, 1941, pp 36-61, which talks about the HEIR Birrens piece. Happily this paper is available as a PDF via the ADS: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/library/browse/details.xhtml?recordId=3179773
One thing leads to another, of course, and in this case a 2019 blog about an archivist's experience of discovering the wonderfully capable Norah Jolliffe : https://www.girton.cam.ac.uk/news/glimpses-girton-norah-jolliffe"
Per email from Martin Rush 02/10/2021: "...The Toynbee book named in the caption ... is not available online. But Toynbee would of course have chosen or ordered the photographs to use in the book. However, I noticed that various reviews and catalogues state "With 230 illustrations from original photographs by Otto Fein". This would be (Hugo) Otto Fein (1906–1966), a bookbinder and photographer who worked at the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg in Germany and then in England when the library migrated to London in 1933. Fein is said to have specialised in photographing manuscripts.
(Otto Fein would have been interned with other émigré artists and scholars in 1940, in Hutchinson Camp, Douglas, Isle of Man - his name is included, with other artists, in Tate Archive TGA 8812/1/4/182, Kenneth Clark - Correspondence and related papers regarding intervention and appeals for the release of artists, art historians and curators from alien internment camps.)..."
