Foreword by Herbert J. Spindea.

"The entire collection, with the exception of the masks, was displayed as a unit in the K. K. Naturhistorische Hofmuseum, Vienna, from 1938-1945. Mr. Knize found the complete collection intact in Vienna in 1945, but all documents concerning their history and provinence have been lost. The objects were acquired from well known art dealers; including Charles Ratton, Paris, and the Flechtheim Galleries, Berlin; also at auction sales liquidating important art collections"--Prefatory note.
