Language: Collection material is in English Biographical/Historical Note The Duveen Brothers was a firm of influential art dealers active from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries with offices in London, Paris, and New York. Under the guidance of Joseph Duveen (1869-1939), and assisted by art experts, most notably Bernard Berenson (1865-1959), Duveen Brothers played a prominent role in the transfer of works of art from Europe to the United States. The firm helped form important private collections that later became the nuclei of museums such as the National Gallery of Art, the Huntington Art Collections, and the Frick Collection. Joel Joseph (1843-1908) and Henry Duveen (1854-1919), the founders of Duveen Brothers were originally from Meppel, Holland. In 1866, Joel Joseph moved to England, first to the city of Hull and then to London, where he began importing delftware, porcelain and other objets d'art from Holland. In 1877, Henry moved to Boston and then New York, where he would become associated with the affluent American collectors J. P. Morgan, Benjamin Altman, Collis P. Huntington, P. A. B. Widener and George J. Gould. Joseph Duveen, the eldest son of Joseph Joel and the principal personage behind the firm's peak from 1907 to 1939 joined the business under his father's mentorship in the London branch in 1887. In 1905-1908, Sir (later Lord) Joseph Duveen made the decisive purchases in Paris of the Rodolfe Kann and Maurice Kann collections and in Berlin of the Hainauer collection. The firm's operation involved a network of runners, scholars, librarians, writers, and photographers. Its access to the vast financial resources of its clientele of international bankers provided it with the capital necessary to make major purchases. The firm achieved major sales to collectors, such as Samuel Kress, Andrew Mellon, Henry Clay Frick, Joseph E. Widener, Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Huntington and Philip Lehman. In 1939, after Lord Duveen's death, his nephew, Armand Lowengard and Edward Fowles assumed leadership of the firms in Paris, New York and London. When Lowengard passed away in 1943, Fowles took over the presidency of Duveen Brothers until 1964, when he sold the firm to Norton Simon with most of its remaining stock.

Connect to finding aid: http://hdl.handle.net/10020/cifa960015 Scope and Content of Collection The stock documentation formed part of the library of the Duveen Brothers that was purchased in 1965 by The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. It was not included in the business records that were deeded in 1968 by Edward Fowles to the Metropolitan Museum and in turn donated to the Getty Research Institute in 1996 (Accession No. 960015). After the Clark Institute integrated the published books, sales catalogs and periodicals from the Duveen Brothers' Library into the institute's general collections, there remained a significant archive, comprised of photograph albums, drafts and published catalogs, brochures, clippings arranged in scrapbooks, photographs of the firm's stock, architectural plans, and art expertise documentation. This portion of the art dealer's records documents the firm's exhibition work, cataloging, research, and publication of works of art and collections. It includes collectors' files and authentication records from art experts, notably Bernard Berenson. The archive was placed on deposit in 2006 at the Getty Research Institute for processing, cataloging, conservation and microfilming. The archive is primarily visual in nature, as its largest series consists of the photographic reference files maintained by Duveen Brothers personnel. Also included are albums of photographs that record the most important works of art in the firm's stock and albums of photographs that illustrate collections of the firm's clients, including Jules Bache, Anna Dodge Dillman, Andrew Mellon and Samuel Kress. Although the bulk of the firm's correspondence forms part of the related archive at the Getty Research Institute, the Duveen Brothers records (Accession No. 960015), the archive includes some correspondence with Bernard Berenson, R. (Robert) Langton Douglas, Georg Swarzenski, Wilhelm von Bode, W. (Wilhelm Rheinhold Otto) Valentiner and Max Friedländer. Art expertive includes Bernard Berenson's X books and certificates of authenticity in the form of typed statements and signed photographs. Clippings and scrapbooks document advertising campaigns orchestrated by the firm and court trials occasioned by attribution disputes and claims of tax frauds. Personal aspects of Lord Joseph Duveen's career and benefactions are documented in scrapbooks, drawings, and photographs. The daily activities of the firm appear in callers' books that include notes on customers' visits and on works seen. Plans, drawings, and fabric swatches document the firm's role as decorator for its clients's estates. Also included are the papers of Italian Renaissance art historian R. (Robert) Langton Douglas (8.0 linear feet (9 boxes)), whose widow later married the firm's last president, Edward Fowles. Arrangement Arranged in fourteen series: Series I. Albums of photographs, 1871-1956; Series II. Exhibition catalogs, pamphlets and posters, 1907-1964; Series III. Scrapbooks, 1869-1962; Series IV. Brochures, 1910-1962; Series V.

  • Robert Kaye Greville (1794-1866)
    ROBERT KAYE GREVILLE (1794-1866) Mark Lawley email: [email protected] This is one in a series about prominent British and Irish field-bryologists of the past. The author would be very pleased to learn of any information which supplements its content. A Social and Biographical History of British and Irish Field-bryologists is also available on-line at http://britishbryologicalsociety.org.uk/ Botanical career Much of Greville’s time in the field was spent in the Scottish Highlands, and his huge collection of plants today forms a core of the herbarium at the Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. Together with W.J. Hooker and G.A. Walker Arnott, Greville found a number of mosses new to Britain as they jointly explored the Scottish Highlands, including Blindia caespiticia, Campylophyllum halleri, Cirriphyllum cirrosum and Heterocladium dimorphum on Ben Lawers. Greville also added to the known Scottish bryoflora the liverworts Anastrophyllum saxicola, Cephalozia lunulifolia, Frullania microphylla, F. teneriffae, Gymnomitrion corallioides, Jungermannia gracillima, Marchesinia mackaii, Mastigophora woodsii, Metzgeria conjugata, M. leptoneura, Plagiochila carringtonii, Reboulia hemisphaerica and Riccia fluitans. As well as collecting insects and molluscs, Greville also studied diatoms with G.A. Walker Arnott, and in addition collaborated with the Reverend David Landsborough. Greville’s most important contribution to bryological literature was his illustrated Scottish Cryptogamic Flora (1822-28). Family background Several of Greville’s ancestors were of great prominence, and taken together they comprise an impressively eclectic sweep through English social history. Robert’s father, also Robert (1759-1830), was rector of Edlaston and Wyaston in Derbyshire, and son of Caleb Greville, gent., of London.
