PROVENANCE:
Garland left all these items at a friend's apartment in New York City at the end of 1968, as she was leaving for London. Sadly, she never had the opportunity to retrieve these belongings which have been left just as Miss Garland had them, with the exception of a few of the make-up items which Heritage put in plastic bags to prevent further damage to the interior lining of the make-up case.
