Labrude, Joseph Sigisbert Mandel (1749 - 1820) [...], one of Nancy's greatest pharmacists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "Mettemberg water, or "anti-psoric quintessence", is a secret medicine, hence the name "secret remedy", used to treat scabies. It was proposed in 1794 (year III) by the former military surgeon Joseph Mettemberg. This external remedy was widely used, and its author enjoyed a great deal of support [particularly in government ministries]. In 1801 or 1802, Mandel was "approached by a fellow doctor" who was "experiencing serious accidents as a result of the external use of this specific drug" [...]. [...] At the public meeting of the Société de Santé held on 2 Messidor An X (June 21 1802), in the presence of the Prefect of the Meurthe department, he presented the results of his analyses of the drug, concluding: "It was with the greatest surprise that I discovered that the base of this specific was one of the most deleterious, one of the most active poisons known, muriate of mercury suroxygenated, today called corrosive sublimated mercury". Mandel was not mistaken about the toxicity of this compound, now called mercuric chloride, which did not prevent the water from continuing its long career". (P. Labrude). This collection illustrates the controversy between the inventor and his detractors.

A Wè-Guéré Mask Wè-Guéré, Côte d’Ivoire Ohne Sockel / without base Holz, Aluminium, Raphia, Leder, div. Fetischmaterial. H 37 cm. Provenienz: - Centre des Sciences Humaines, Abidjan. - 1969: Jean-Louis Rinsoz (1932-1971), Vevey. - Erben Jean-Louis Rinsoz, Westschweiz. Ausgestellt: Africa 69, Arts de la Côte-d'Ivoire et de l'Afrique occidentale. Vevey (1969). Diese Masken dienten einst dazu, die Männer auf den Krieg vorzubereiten. Später traten sie auch bei unterschiedlichen Anlässen auf: So konnten sie beispielsweise bei zeremoniellen Festlichkeiten wie an Gedenkfeiern zu Ehren einer bedeutenden Persönlichkeit, bei Gerichtsverhandlungen oder auch einfach nur zur Unterhaltung des Dorfes in Erscheinung treten. Weiterführende Literatur: Verger-Fèvre, Marie-Noël: Côte d'Ivoire: Masques du pays Wé, in: Tribal. Le magazine de l'art tribal. Nr. 9/2005. Bruxelles: Primedia s.p.r.l. ----------------------------------------------------- Jean-Louis Rinsoz Jean-Louis Rinsoz wurde 1932 in Vevey geboren. Nach Abschluss seiner Schulzeit studierte er Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Universität Lausanne (Fakultät für Betriebswirtschaftslehre, HEC), bevor er in das Familienunternehmen "Rinsoz et Ormond SA" in Vevey eintrat, das Tabak, Zigarren und Zigaretten herstellte. Tief mit seiner Heimatregion verbunden, war er stets stark in die sozialen, kulturellen und industriellen Aktivitäten von Vevey eingebunden. Um die Tabaklieferquellen zu diversifizieren und die wachsenden Anforderungen eines expandierenden Marktes zu erfüllen, suchte Jean-Louis Rinsoz nach neuen Produktionsflächen. Seine Reisen führten ihn zunächst nach Maryland (USA) und dann, Mitte der 1960er Jahre, nach Côte d'Ivoire. Dieses Land war für ihn eine Offenbarung. Alles, wofür er sich begeisterte, war dort: die Natur, die Menschen und ihre Kultur! Neben der Entwicklung einer bedeutenden wirtschaftlichen Partnerschaft mit dem ivorischen Staat durch die Einrichtung mehrerer Tabakproduktionszentren dort finanzierte Jean-Louis Rinsoz die Eröffnung einer Reihe kleiner Schulen, um den Kindern dieses Landes den Zugang zur Bildung zu ermöglichen. Er wurde vom ivorischen Staat offiziell als "Honorarkonsul der Côte d'Ivoire in der Schweiz mit Sitz in Vevey" ernannt und sogar als Dorfchef in der Baoulé-Region eingeweiht. Die traditionelle Kunst dieser Regionen faszinierte ihn ebenso sehr, in ihrer sozialen, ästhetischen und religiösen Dimension. In diesem Kontext traf er den Ethnologen und Kunsthistoriker Bohumil Holas, der damals Direktor des Museums der Zivilisationen von Côte d'Ivoire in Abidjan war. Die beiden Männer wurden Freunde. Aus dem Zusammenfluss all dieser Faktoren entstand die Ausstellung "Arts de la Côte d'Ivoire. Die Schätze des Abidjan Museums", die 1969 im Museum der Schönen Künste in Vevey stattfand. Jean-Louis Rinsoz war der Vorsitzende des Komitees. Das bewegende Vorwort, das er für den Katalog zu dieser Veranstaltung schrieb, zeugt von seiner tiefen Verbundenheit mit diesem Land. Jean-Louis Rinsoz hatte die ivorische Staatsbürgerschaft beantragt. Er sollte diesen Tag nie erleben, da er 1971 bei einem tragischen Unfall ums Leben kam. Die afrikanischen Objekte aus der persönlichen Sammlung von Jean-Louis Rinsoz waren seither im Besitz der Familie und dieser "Schatz aus Vevey" wird an unserer Auktion erstmals internationalen Sammlern traditioneller afrikanischer Kunst angeboten.
