See OF for translation. Documents birth and abandonment of Christina Matis at the Hospice for abandoned children in Turin. Extract sent to Guillaume Jandaschewsky indicating no impediment to his intended marriage to Christina Matis.
The Jandaschewsky family collection was kept together by the last remaining family member, Arthur 'Jandy' Jandaschewsky. During the last years of his life 'Jandy' sold the collection to his friend John Anastasiadis. Mr Anastasiadis kept the collection for a 25 year period, having built a repository for housing and exhibiting it at his own home. In 1994 he sold the collection to the MAAS in order to keep it together, and in New South Wales, according to 'Jandy's' wishes.
