  • 'A Mind to Copy': Inspired by Meissen
    ‘A Mind to Copy’: Inspired by Meissen Anton Gabszewicz Independent Ceramic Historian, London Figure 1. Sir Charles Hanbury Williams by John Giles Eccardt. 1746 (National Portrait Gallery, London.) 20 he association between Nicholas Sprimont, part owner of the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory, Sir Everard Fawkener, private sec- retary to William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, the second son of King George II, and Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, diplomat and Tsometime British Envoy to the Saxon Court at Dresden was one that had far-reaching effects on the development and history of the ceramic industry in England. The well-known and oft cited letter of 9th June 1751 from Han- bury Williams (fig. 1) to his friend Henry Fox at Holland House, Kensington, where his china was stored, sets the scene. Fawkener had asked Hanbury Williams ‘…to send over models for different Pieces from hence, in order to furnish the Undertakers with good designs... But I thought it better and cheaper for the manufacturers to give them leave to take away any of my china from Holland House, and to copy what they like.’ Thus allowing Fawkener ‘… and anybody He brings with him, to see my China & to take away such pieces as they have a mind to Copy.’ The result of this exchange of correspondence and Hanbury Williams’ generous offer led to an almost instant influx of Meissen designs at Chelsea, a tremendous impetus to the nascent porcelain industry that was to influ- ence the course of events across the industry in England. Just in taking a ca- sual look through the products of most English porcelain factories during Figure 2.

  • Report to the Public on the Work of the 2019 Proceedings of the Symposium Held on November 15, 2019
    Commission pour l’indemnisation des victimes de spoliations intervenues du fait des législations antisémites en vigueur pendant l’Occupation Report to the public on the work of the 2019 Proceedings of the symposium held on November 15, 2019 Speech by French President Jacques Chirac, on July 16, 1995, at the commemoration of the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup (July 16, 1942) Excerpts « In the life of a nation, there are times that leave painful memories and damage people’s conception of their country. It is difficult to evoke these moments because we can never find the proper words to describe their horror or to express the grief of those who experienced their tragedy. They will carry forever, in their souls and in their flesh, the memory of these days of tears and shame. [… ] On that day, France, land of the Enlightenment, of Human Rights, of welcome and asylum, committed the irreparable. Breaking its word, it handed those who were under its protection over to their executioners. [… ] Our debt to them is inalienable. [… ] In passing on the history of the Jewish people, of its sufferings and of the camps. In bearing witness again and again. In recognizing the errors of the past, and the errors committed by the State. In concealing nothing about the dark hours of our history, we are simply standing up for a vision of humanity, of human liberty and dignity. We are thus struggling against the forces of darkness, which are constantly at work. [… ] Let us learn the lessons of history. Let us refuse to be passive onlookers, or accomplices, of unacceptable acts.

Vermeulen Studentnummer: 4629825 Emailadres: [email protected] Eerste begeleider: Prof. Dr. V. Manuth TWeede begeleider: Prof. Dr. B. de Klerck Woensdag, 30 augustus 2017 ABSTRACT The Department Dr. Mühlmann – The organized art theft in the Netherlands under German occupation in the years from 1940 to 1944 by Jan Vermeulen In 1940 the Austrian art historian Dr. Kajetan Mühlmann set up an office in Den Haag, which functioned as a clearing house for art expropriated during the occupation of the Netherlands. This agency, headed by Mühlmann, became known as the “Dienststelle Dr. Mühlmann”. The following thesis deals With the organized art theft in the Netherlands under German occupation in the years from 1940 to 1944. It starts with Mühlmann’s biographic background and his political alliances to National Socialism in Germany and its members. These bonds are important because they led to his task in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands the Department of Dr. Mühlmann worked with different organizations. Although the “Dienststelle” had a small internal structure, it had a large external network. As well the internal construction of the department as its external contacts will be discussed and explained within the thesis. After the main characters of the “Dienststelle” are revealed and the different tasks which consist of the registration of important artworks and collections, different ways of procurement and in the end their sale, the complex system of the Department Dr.

  • 1 the End of Global Capital Flows During the Great Depression
    The End of Global Capital Flows During the Great Depression Harold James, Princeton University International capital markets froze up during the Great Depression, and the capital movements that did take place in the aftermath of the depression were regarded as destabilizing “hot money” flows. Previous debt crises in the nineteenth century era of globalization had resulted in the penalization of the problem area for substantial periods of time (decades), but capital flows from the major centers had resumed to new areas quite quickly. What distinguished the Great Depression was: - that several areas of the world were hit simultaneously in a general crisis - that the crisis undermined the financial structure of the major financial centers - that the response to the crisis in many countries involved the suspension of debt service and an imposition of capital controls - that lending countries regarded the volatility of capital flows as an economic problem but also as a security issue - that in consequence the climate of opinion shifted to a belief that capital flows were the major source of the destabilization. 1. The General Crisis 1 The First World War was clearly a major shock to the international economic order: the gold standard was suspended, there were major debtor defaults (the Russian Empire), and countries adopted highly inflationary war finance. But capital flows resumed quickly after the war, as they had after nineteenth century debt crises. Many U.K. and U.S. investors thought the depreciated currencies of central Europe attractive, and bet on recoveries (foolishly, as it turned out). After the currency stabilizations of the mid-1920s, capital flows were not deterred by continuing political uncertainty and instability, or by the priority of reparations payments (which later came to play a role in the creditors’ panic).1 This looks like similar behavior to that of the classic gold standard era, where crises were followed by a suspicion of certain areas, but not a turning away from all international engagement.

  • Deutsche Finanzinteressen an Den Vereinigten Staaten Und Den Nieder- Landen Im Ersten Weltkrieg*
    Aufsatz Marc Frey Deutsche Finanzinteressen an den Vereinigten Staaten und den Nieder- landen im Ersten Weltkrieg* Wohl kein Bereich der Forschung zur Geschichte Deutschlands im Ersten Weltkrieg ist so unterrepräsentiert wie die Analyse der deutschen Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen in den Jahren 1914—1918. Darstellungen der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft betonen die wachsende Rohstoff- und Nahrungsmittelknappheit, deren Ausmaß kaum noch lösbare Anforderun- gen an die deutsche Wirtschaft stellten1. Besonders die aus dem anglo-amerikanischen Raum stammende Forschung zum Wirtschaftskrieg übte nachhaltigen Einfluß auf das Ver- ständnis der deutschen Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen im Krieg aus. Danach gelang es Groß- britannien, Deutschland mit Hilfe der Blockade bald nach Kriegsausbruch vom Weltmarkt zu verdrängen und den Handel mit dem Ausland im weiteren Verlauf des Krieges ganz zum Erliegen zu bringen2. Schon vor zwanzig Jahren zog Gerd Hardach in seiner inter- nationalen Wirtschaftsgeschichte des Ersten Weltkriegs den Erfolg der alliierten Wirtschafts- blockade gegen Deutschland in Zweifel und verwies auf die Rolle der Neutralen als be- deutende Handelspartner Deutschlands3. Bis heute wurden seine Thesen weder aufgenom: men noch einer genauen Uberprüfung unterzogen. So stellte auch die neuere Forschung zu verschiedenen Aspekten der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft die Wirkung der alliierten Blockade gerade im Hinblick auf die deutschen Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen nicht in Frage4. Angesichts der großen Bedeutung der neutralen Staaten für die deutsche Kriegs- wirtschaft ist es jedoch erstaunlich, daß die Wirtschafts- und Finanzbeziehungen Deutsch- lands zu Dänemark, den Niederlanden, Norwegen, Schweden, der Schweiz und den Ver- einigten Staaten von der Forschung bislang unberücksichtigt blieben.

In the years following World War II, more than 1400 art objects formerly belonging to the German-born banker Fritz Mannheimer (1890-1939) came into the possession of Dutch museums, especially the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum. Highlights of this remarkable collection include top-quality paintings by Rembrandt, Crivelli, Frans van Mieris, and Jan van der Heyden; German applied art objects of the highest quality; master drawings by Fragonard, Watteau, and Boucher; sculptures by Houdon and Falconet; best-of-kind furniture by Röntgen and classic French furniture makers; a world-class array of Meissen porcelain; exquisite silver and gold art objects, ornate snuff boxes and much else. Like many collections belonging to Jews who lived in countries occupied by the Nazis, the Mannheimer art objects were coveted by Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring, and associated figures from the time of the German invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940. The subsequent ownership history of these extraordinary works of art, both during and after the war, sheds light on the conflicts, greed, breaches of the law, and lingering consequences of that dark and troubled era in world 1 history. The Amsterdam Rijksmuseum had indeed been most enriched in 1952 by receiving the lion’s share of the Mannheimer estate.
