I do remember seeing a catalogue entry (not at Hackney, I might add) which,
after correctly describing some deeds, ended with something like 'Copy of
The
Times 27 April 1968 in which the previous six items were wrapped'. I'm not
sure that this qualifies as inept cataloguing, but perhaps appraisal was not
quite up to standard on that occasion.
