Parke THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MANAGERS NEW YORK 1921 THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES AND DIRECTS ALL DETAILS OF ILLUSTRATION TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY THE LAWRENCE COLLECTION A PREFATORY NOTE Among American collectors of works of art, the late Mr. Henry C. Lawrence occupied a most enviable position. Himself the son of a noted collector, he devoted himself very largely to acquisitions in two fields, in both of which he attained what amounted to supremacy. These were the Stained Glass of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and those Dishes of hammered brass which, for nigh on two centuries, were pro- duced, for the rest of Europe, mainly in the quaint old-world city of Nuremberg. But, though Mr. Lawrence made these two things, Stained Glass and hammered Brass-ware, his chief aim as a collector, he by no means neglected other objects of a more diversified and generally appealing character. It is significant of his flair and instinctive knowledge that, although he filled his capacious house throughout with furnishings and decorations of bygone ages, there was practically nothing there to be found that was not distin- guished by its inherent beauty and its outstanding genuineness. Thus, his French and Flemish polychrome Wood-carvings are of a rare beauty, his early Tapestries are noteworthy at a time when such fine specimens of medieval weaving are practically un- procurable, while his Italian Colored Stuccoes, Furniture and Tex- tiles represent the very best endeavors of the Italian Renaissance craftsmen. In regard to what most will call the clow of the whole gather- ing, and what is, undoubtedly, the most important private collec- tion in the United States of early stained glass, I deemed it advis- able to obtain the well-considered opinion of Captain Maurice Drake, author of “A History of English Stained Glass Painting” and one of the recognized authorities of Europe on the subject. I also consulted, while in Paris, M. Emile Bacri, who is a con- sulting authority on art objects to the French Government. As a consequence, I confidently believe that the catalogue of this section may be relied upon absolutely. In conclusion, I may say that, to my knowledge, the Amer- ican Art Association has seldom been authorized to offer at un- restricted sale so choice and well-balanced a gathering, brought together for his own pleasure and without a thought of contingent profit by a collector of such acute intelligence and artistic per- ception. Horace Townsenp. CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either de- cide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the pur- chase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in de- fault of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) aris- ing from such re-sale shall be a charge against such purchaser. 4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon pay- ment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P.

Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the purchaser. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Association will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. “Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Asso- ciation of the correctness of the description, genuineness or au- thenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imperfection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trust- worthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly cata- logued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper foundation.

CATALOGUE NUREMBERG AND OTHER BRASSES CHIEFLY OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY Although the cities of Augsburg, Brunswick and Liibeck have been mentioned among the places of manufacture of the hammered brass Dishes, Plates and Bowls here satalogued, it seems certain that to Nuremberg alone was the craft confined. The Director of the Germanic National Museum published, in Nuremberg, many years ago, a Bulletin which, in view of its painstaking complete- ness, has served to the present time as the source of most of our knowledge regarding the Nuremberg brass-hammerer’s trade. In the Municipal Registers of that city the dish hammerers are first mentioned in 1378, but it was not until the close of the fifteenth century that their craft reached any degree of development, while of the examples which have come down to us, those of the sixteenth century and later are in an overwhelming majority. The process of making these dishes was an interesting one, but the individual maker made no attempt to improve upon the technical methods or to alter in the slightest degree the designs of his ancestors, and so it is practically impossible to positively assign a special date to any particular piece. The dish, in the first place, was put upon the lathe and subsequently the central figure or decorative design, the gadroonings and bands of inscrip- tions and ornament, were beaten from the back and driven into a brass or iron mold, which gave the requisite sharpness and clear- ness to the surface. The bands of stamped ornaments were then impressed by the use of punches or dies applied to the face of the work. It may be remarked that bands of inscription, either in Gothic or Lombardic characters, almost always form a part of the Nuremberger’s design, but are as a rule purely decorative in pur- pose and, as legends, are absolutely meaningless. In this respect they resemble the bands of pseudo-Kufic lettering which form a part of the pattern of many dishes of Hispano-Mauresque work- manship. Finally, though most of the brass dishes met with to-day were made at Nuremberg, others occasionally turn up which claim France, Italy or Austria as their birthplace.

(Illustrated) No. 337—Maponna anp Saints (Italian School of the Fifteenth Century) Second Afternoon STAINED GLASS PANELS Chiefly French of the 13th, 14th and 15th Centuries A stained-glass window of the thirteenth, fourteen or fifteenth century was built up, in mosaic fashion, of pieces of colored glass or “pot-metal,” joined together by strips of lead and painted, as regards such details as features, folds of drapery, patterns and so forth, with an opaque brownish enamel, formed of metallic oxides and soft glass ground up, and fused by a subsequent firing. To the rule that a separate piece of glass was used for every change of color there were two exceptions. The first was in the use of silver stain, for it was found, early in the fourteenth century, that if white glass were painted with a salt of silver and then fired it became partially stained a clear and lasting yellow rang- ing from pale lemon to deep orange. Secondly, it was discovered that “flashed” glass—namely, white glass coated with a film of colored glass—could be ground away, or “abraded,” by this means making it possible to obtain white and color on the same piece. The second method was limited in its result, but the invention of the silver stain had a potent influence on the very design of stained-glass windows. No Stained Glass of a date prior to the eleventh century is now in existence, while the earliest examples likely to fall into possession of the collector will date from the middle of the thir- teenth century, and most of his acquisitions from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It is noteworthy, therefore, that so many panels in the Lawrence Collection are as early as the thirteenth century, and it is not amazing that many of these have been “restored” by the insertion of small pieces of glass to take the place of those broken in the passage of nearly seven centuries. It is largely this first fact, as well as the loving discrimination with which each piece has been selected, that makes the gathering so noteworthy. Interesting, too, is it to note how many of the panels claim France as their country of origin. France, indeed, was the first home of the craftsman in Stained and Painted Glass, as to which fact early English ecclesiastical records bear ample witness. A few of Mr. Lawrence’s panels are of Swiss glass, which leads to a curious consideration. The extraordinary prices re- cently given by collectors for Stained Glass are confined to the very earliest and to the latest examples. The former are found in perfection in France and England, while for the latter one must travel to the little country of Switzerland. Here in the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries, secular windows, painted with colored glass enamels so skilfully prepared that after firing they became as much a part of the glass as the colors in “pot-metal,” were produced in abundance. Figures, landscapes and_ heraldic devices were admirably presented by these Swiss, who enlisted the services of such artists as Hans Holbein the Younger. Towards the latter half of the seventeenth century, however, a period of decadence set in which eventually wrote “Finis” to the story of Swiss glass painting. It may, in conclusion, be remarked that Mr. Lawrence ob- tained practically all his examples from MM. Bacri Freres, Rey and Heilbronner of Paris, from Mr. Grosvenor Thomas of London, from French and Co. and from a private collector of New York, while he found the advice and assistance of M. H. Daguerre of Paris invaluable. ; * likes 48s Second Afternoon EEE EEE Eicut FraGMENTS oF STAINED GLAss Mainly Thirteenth Century 338 Irregular fragments of blue stained glass. 839—Srven FracGMENTS OF STAINED Gass Various centuries.

Of the four figures before us, the upper, on the left, is inscribed souper; the upper on the right, banquet; the lower on the left, acoustu- ma(n)ce, which means Habit. Note the brick wall separat- ing Supper and Banquet, from Habit and her companion. Height, 5 feet 1 inch; width, 2 feet 9 inches. (Illustrated) GMENT Fra No. 571—Lare Goruic Tapestry Third and Last Afternoon 572—Swiss Gornic Tapestry A Gothic tapestry woven in Switzerland or on the upper Rhine, in the last half of the fifteenth century. It closely resembles the small German tapestry of the Morgan Collec- tions, which, as confirmed by the inscriptions on the scrolls, represented the Queen of Sheba asking Solomon one of the numerous and bewildering questions with which she is said to have tested his wisdom. Unfortunately, the hand of time has so twisted the shape of the letters on the tapestry before us that it is no longer possible to decipher either question or answer, except the Ich (German for J) with which the scroll of the gentleman begins. Mr. Lawrence described the scene as a Gothic proposal, the gentleman saying: “I lay at your feet all that I have”; and the lady replying: “Receive, sir, the assurance of my distinguished consideration.” Note the miniature spotted deer on the lap of the lady, and the falcon at which the gentleman points, which has just brought down the two birds above. Note also the gentle- man’s pointed shoes, and the lady’s horned headdress, both characteristic features of the costumes of this part of the fifteenth century. Height, 2 feet 6 inches; width, 8 feet 3 inches.

This is one of a series of scenes picturing the Life of Christ, woven in France in the first quarter of the sixteenth century. ‘The Mille-fleur fore- ground is fascinating, and the details of the ship and sea are delightfully executed, but the faces are inferior. ‘The action is spirited. Peter (pre standing for Pierre), feeling himself sink, cried, saying, “Lord, save me.” And immedi- ately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him and said unto him (Matthew xiv, 31), Modice fidei, quare dubi- tasti, most of which appears on the scroll in the tapestry, and which, translated from the Latin, reads: “O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?” Note the archi- tectural framing of the tapestry, round Gothic columns with flat Late Gothic arch.

B. Wood in the Burlington Magazine under the title of “Seven Deadly Sins.” Henry VIII had a set of them, one of which is still in Hampton Court. Part of another (which sold at auction in London for £6,600 in 1910 and which is illus- trated on page 17 of Hunter’s “Tapestries, their Origin, History and Renaissance”) has recently been added to the Hampton Court Collection by gift. Several years ago one of the set was acquired for the Louvre, where it now hangs prominently. The subject of the fragment before us is the “Triumph of the Old Law” as symbolized by the mosaic tables pictured in the banner pendent from the trumpet, which is blown by a lady who symbolizes the Old Testament. The angel on the right holds a scroll that carries the first two words of the famous Latin hymn composed by Saint Fortunatus, Bishop of Poitiers, in the sixth century. The two words are Pange, lingua, and the first line of the hymn translated reads: “Record, O tongue, the battle of the glori- ous war,” referring to the war of Christ against Sin, and of the Virtues against the Vices. The four figures below the angel are Chastity, Patience, and two other Virtues. Height, 4 feet 5 inches; width, 10 feet 9 inches.

There are important examples in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. One of their characteristic features are the closely foliaged trees with their richly colored fruit. Note also the vine on the left, heavy with grapes, that the maid is cutting with the knife carried in her right hand, while on her left arm hangs the basket, from which the lady has just taken a cluster. As is usual in these tapestries, there are t two distinct groups of personages, the hunting group of lords and ladies, and the shepherd group of peasants. One of the lords before us holds a falcon on his left hand, while his dog watches him intently, and the ladies on either side of him seem rather bored. The other lord leans on his battle- axe while gesturing to the lady with the grapes. The cen- tral personage of the tapestry is a spinster; that is to say, a woman who is spinning. Watching her intently is a swain with picturesque hat, who has taken off one of his shoes, which he is mending with the help of an awl. His houlette (shepherd’s staff with shovel at the end to pick up dirt and throw at the sheep to guide them) lies on the ground. Be- yond him is a youth with houlette, who blows a clarinet. In the middle of the background, surrounded by spellbound sheep, a bagpiper sits and plays. On the right, one shepherd clips a fleece, while another shepherd feeds a sheep, and a shepherdess holds under her arm one of the flock soon to be shorn. The weave of the tapestry, especially of the long and flowing robes, is superb. Height, 7 feet 9 inches; width, 9 feet.
