Art historian a. art educator, director of the Hamburger Kunsthalle (1852-1914). Eigh. Letter with signature, dat. Hamburg I.VI. (19)10. 8°. 2 sheets, 4 p. inscr. On a sheet with black mourning border to the Austrian writer Richard Schaukal: "I have just come from England, where books are not sent to me. Now I see that your delicious shipment has been waiting for me since Pentecost. I am very unhappy that I was not able to thank you immediately... I need an extension of the gallery rooms - I am being urged to build a new building elsewhere, which I consider to be wrong because the location is unfavorable: it would turn a museum of the city into a museum of the suburb in question... From Nuremberg, where I was involved in the Tschudi affair...., I had to go through to London - Winsor, where a fellow countryman - Baron Schröder - had bequeathed us his gallery, some sixty pictures... etc. - John Henry Schröder (1825-1910) maintained an extensive art collection in his house, whose paintings and sculptures he bequeathed to the Hamburg Kunsthalle.
