The Whole Collection Spurious

RUT far more wholesale fraud was dlSCoV-
- cred last year in the Holburne Museum in
the old English city of Bath. Here were pictures
valued at five million dollars. They were
originally the property Of Sir William Hol-
burne, retired naval officer Of great wealth,
who had long refused all expert advice, and
naturally became the victim Of shady dealers
in all nations. Out of two hundred and fifty
six pictures attributed to A. Cuyp, Teniers,
Eandyke, Sir Peter LEY, Sir Joshua Reynolds,
Salvador Rosa, Rubens, MOrland, Gainsborough,
Leonardo da EinCi, and others, no less than
one hundred and ninety-four have been re-
Jected as spurious copies or downright fakes.
Many of the original pictures supposed to be
in Bath have all the time been calmly reposng
in London and Continental galleries. Among
the frauds are several SO called Muriilos, which,
if genuine, would be worth at least fifty thou
sand dollars each, and there is an alleged Titan
which could not be purchased for five times
that if genuine.
Even stranger still was the case of the Corot
landscape presented not long ago to the Dub
lin Art Gallery by the Prince OF Wales himself
The picture was promptly pronounced fraud
by some OF the leading experts OF London and
Paris
One of the most recent cases of a bad bar
gain, however, was that in which a well known
London firm of dealers bought for twenty
thousand dollars a canvas which they were
perfectly satisfied was a genuine Constable.
In due time they sold the picture to rich art
loving peer at a profit Of thirty thousand dol
lars. Great was the amazement of everyone
concerned when the greatest living authority
on this master pronounced the picture for
gerry. The purchaser began legal proceedings
forthwith; and it was ultimately discovered
that the so called constable" was the work
of a clever but obscure artist in the north OF
England who thought himself extremely lucky
to get fifteen hundred dollars for 1t.

is the story of a young Chicagoan who drew a
prize last year on his European tour. In 4
back street near the ancient cathedral of Can
terbury he paused for a moment to inspect 4
SauCerful of old coins in Curio shop. They
were mostly battered pennies and halfpenneS
of the reigns of the Georges, and were priced
at two cents each.
The Young fellow something of nuniS-
matist himself and on turning them over he
found among them medal or token perfectly
black with a thick inCrustation OF dirt, and
feeling strangely heavy. Wondering if it
could be made of lead he paid his two cents
and took his purchase home, where he gave
it a thorough cleansing, and then went with
it to SpInkS we'll known coin shop in PICCa-
diy. Here it was pronounced a gold medal
OF the Stuart period worth two hundred dollars.
Many of the famous art Connoisseurs of
Europe finance travelling agents and give them
a rowing commission as bargain hunters. One
of these, Ralph Bernal, once picked up
graved crystal circle for two dollars in curio
shop in Brussels. 1t turned out to have be-
longed to Lothaire, one OF the old Kings Of
France, and eventually the British Museum
bought it for thirteen hundred and thirty-five
dollars.
On the other hand, the greatest experts in
the world are frequently deceived. Quite
Gently no less a parsonage than the President
of the British Royal Academy himself, Sir
Edward ]. POINTER bought for the National
Gallery in London what he termed "a beautiful
little work of Perugno, OF the fifteenth or
quite early sixteenth century" The price
paid was only two thousand dollars. No
sooner was it hung than first expert and
then another of international reputation rose
UP to attack it.

A Valuable Ring

MY farmer friend explained that his man had
1S1 plowed it up the previous day and tied it
on in this way. On removing it, declared it to
be of gold, and offered to take it into town
and get it valued. My host agreed, and smil-
ingly remarked that he would rather have a
few silver spoons for his wife than any money
The jeweler said that the intrinsic value of the
gold was about hundred dollars, and
sold the ring to the British Museum for seven
teen hundred and fifty dollars. 1t is an ex-
Ceedingly rare Saxon ring of crude pure gold,
bearing in enamel the words, " Ethelswyth
Regina"
The present Duke of Marlborough is young
peer of excellent artistic instincts, and, like
many other art collectors, is perhaps more
proud of his bargains than of any other items
in the great collection at Blenheim Palace.
Two or three Years ago the young Duke bought
a terra Gotta figure in Paris for two thousand
dollars. The little statuette a miracle of
grace and beauty, and was soon chrstened
The Water Nymph." British, French, and
Italian dealers were given an opportunity to
inspect it, and it was gradually established as
being of the finest examples extant of the
great sculptor Fauconnet. No sooner was this
known than a formal trade offer of thirty
thousand dollars was made to the Duke, which
he declined.
To descend now to much smaller game there
