IC 3854 is one of two galaxies, probably the eastern. Wolf's marks around the objects are unusual, forming a w-shaped figure to the north, and with simple dashes south and east pointing at his object and a "* 15 f" (this object is indeed the star though I misidentified it as the companion galaxy earlier). The galaxies are either at the plate limit or are seriously out of focus on the contact print that I've examined.

In any event, Wolf's position is closer to the eastern of the pair, so that is the one I take as the IC galaxy. The other is nearly as bright and is actually larger, but neither is clearly seen on the print.
