BOGUS CURIOS.

Inc hubub that has been raised
over the alleged bogus articles in the
collection of curios recently bequeath-
ed to the museum of the University
of Pennsylvania by the late Professor
Maxwell Sommerville, professor Of
Egyptology, is calculated to make col
1ectors everywhere sit up and take
notice Professor Summerville was
regarded as one oftne highest author
tiles of Egyptology in the United
States. He spent many years in MAX
ing his collection of Egyptian, Hindu, !
Buddhist, Japanese and Chinese GU
rios.
Now another expert comes forward
with the assertion that the greater
part of the collection is spurious. IN
other words, it consists in the main OF
clever limitations prepared with intent
to deceive. Nobody charges Professor
Sommerville with fraud. 1t is admit
ted that, when he bought the curios
comprising his collection. he thought
he was getting genuine articles. Ce:-
tainly he paid handsome prices for
most of them. Yet expert though he
was. if the claims now made are well
founded, he was deceived very badly
and very often.
Now comes this question: If the
professionals, the men who have made
a life work of studying the nature CT
curios, the time in which they were
supposed to have been made. the rea-
sons why they were made can be de-
ceived, what chance has the gentle
man amateur, the dilettante, to accum-
ulate anything but trash? A recent
article in the Saturday Evening Post
shed some light on this subject.
1t said that many Europeans devote
their lives to the manufacture and sale
of fraudulent relics. Often several
years are required for the making OF
single articles, but when they are
turned out, they are so nearly perfe :;
in their imitation of the genuine tina
the best experts a re deceived. Som
notable instances of deception wer,
given, the names to the parties to tn
transactions being omitted.
The Somerville case, following s.
closely upon the revelations made b,
the Post, will lead many to wonde
whether, after all, it is worth while t
spend so much good time in pursuit {
that which once acquired, is NOR
than apt to prove worthless.
