Remarkable Collection In the Hnr-
vard Germanic Museum.
There has recently been presented
TO the Germanic museum at Harvard
by number OF prominent citizens OF
Germany very remarkable collection
of the gold and silver work from the
thirteenth to the seventeenth century.
This is the only collection of the kind
In existence and is interesting not only
because such work is practically lost
art but for its graphic representation
OF far distant period of uncommonly
picturesque history.
There are more than fifty pieces,
the originals of which adorned great
cathedrals. the banquet halls OF cities
and the palaces of kings. The most
ancient Is chalice OF the thirteenth
century which was the work of some
monk silversmith. 1t is peculiar, be-
ing in the shape OF drinking vessel
OF pagan Rome, carefully ornamented
with childlike pictures OF scenes from
the Old Testament. The collection as
a whole, however, represents the skill
OF the worker I'm precious metals at its
highest development, and il is far
cry from this crude chalice to the ex-
quisitely modelled specimens of the
later centuries, when the silversmith
had developed into an artist.
Eating and drinking played SO inn
portant a part in the daily life of the
dark ages that the energies of the art
list naturally turned to the fabrication

the Harvard museum contains notable
examples of these, Among them n
great silver dish, the prototype of the
modern finger. bowl presented to the
town of Luneburg in 1906 by Burgo-
master heterogeneous WitZendorp, cary
ed with professions of Roman knights
riding out Of German cities, is Won
derful piece of work. A gold and sill
yer goblet presented to Luther on his
wedding day by the University of Wit
tenberg and goblet made for Maxi
milan III. by Wenzel Tamnitzer. the
famous Nuremberg silversmith. are
splendid specimens OF their kind. There
nre also goblets belonging to different
guilds md, more curious still, reversi-
BILE goblets for men and women, with
the mans end OF the cup much larger
than the other, which shows that there
were very definite ideas of proportion
in those days.
1t is interesting to know how this
collection came to be presented to the
Germanie museum. A number of
wealthy Germans wished to show their
appreciation of the establishment OF
the institution and to emulate the ex-
ample Of Emperor William, who has
done so much for IL. They looked
about TO find some phase OF the devel-
opment of German art which had been
neglected. and very wisely decided OH
the work Of the silversmith. The re-
productions, which are so perfect as to
be practically indistingushable from
the originals, We're made under the SUI
pervision Of DIR. leasing, director of
the Berlin Museum of Arts and Crafts.
from specimens in possession of the
German royal family and various Eu-
ropean museums.
