That's so helpful, thanks! I think Freddie could have got Oberon and Titania from this paintiny from the same article, Contradiction: Oberon and Titania - it was in Sotheby's scan and he kept the clipping

Congrats on the article, I have been researching exactly the same thing! Do you think Freddie could have seen the original manuscript? There was also an article about Dadd in Oz in 1971, I think it's likely Freddie could have seen that!
