De Stijl consisted of artists and architects. In a more narrow sense the term De Stijl is used to refer to a body of work from 1917 to 1931 founded in the Netherlands. Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour. They simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal using only black white and primary colors. from Wikipedia. Sotheby's hardcover‎

‎W B Dunlop, cousin of William Hamilton Dunlop of Downside [Tom Hodge (1860-1939), Chairman of Sotheby's; Burns Cottage Museum, A‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed from W. B. Dunlop to 'Mr. Hodge' Chairman of Sotheby's Tom Hodge discussing the acquisition for the Burns Cottage Museum of a copy of the Kilmarnock Edition of Robert Burns with reference to prices fetched by other copies.‎

‎7 Carlton Street Edinburgh. 23 July 1903. 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium. Good on lightly-aged paper. Dunlop begins by informing Hodge that his cousin William Hamilton Dunlop of Downside Ayrshire 'has purchased as one of the Burns Monument Trustees the "Veitch" of Paisley copy of the Kilmarnock Burns for £1000'. He describes the book as 'the most perfect copy known uncut & with both blue paper covers much better than the Lamb copy.' Dunlop is 'glad it has been secured for the Burns Cottage Museum at Alloway & is not going across the fish pond i.e. to the United States.' Dunlop's cousin was the underbidder 'through the Edinburgh bookseller Mr William Brown for my <> copy at your sale of his Library & when he missed that as they have endless money I told him he ought to buy the best copy known when it was available'. Dunlop states that Veitch 'picked it up for £10 in the "sixties." It came from Arniston Dundas & the history is I believe well authenticated.' The London bookseller Sabin 'wanted £750 for the Lamb copy when my cousin went to see it but I think he is better with this one'. He concludes by stating that 'Veitch asked £1000 & wd. not budge a shilling'. In a postscript he asks Hodge to send catalogues of scientific books: 'I have a considerable scientific Library of my own & such books interest me. At present I am on the look out for a well bound complete set of "Nature."' 7 Carlton Street, Edinburgh. 23 July 1903. unknown‎

‎The Harry A. Franklin Family Collection of African Art. (Ausstellung / Auktion). Sotheby's; New York; 1990. Auction Saturday, April 21, 1990. (Exhibition: April 14 - April 20).‎

‎Sotheby's; NY, 1990. Ca. 170 Seiten; mit sehr zahlreichen, z. Tl. ganzseitigen, farbigen Illustrationen; 28 cm. Originalleinen mit farb. illustr. Orig.-Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Ein gutes Exemplar; der farb. Umschlag stw. berieben u. m. geringfügigen Läsuren. - Aus der Bibliothek von Dr. H. J. Koloß / Völkerkunde-Museum Berlin; mit Beilagen. - Englisch. - Sehr zahlr. Illustrationen. - Startling, mysterious and beautiful, the works of African art in the Harry A. Franklin Family Collection cast a powerful spell on the beholder. The haunting features of a Baule face mask or a Dogon male figure, like mythic totems, seem to pierce the barriers separating one culture from another, one age from the next. In looking at the Luba Shankadi divination figure (lot 431), an exquisite mother and child sculpture with a rich black patina, one sees the same tender and protective imagery so familiar to us in the sculptures of Henry Moore on the same theme. Beneath surfaces of primal and often rugged beauty, these works comment on the world and on mankind with a timeless, metaphorical wisdom. In the best sense, this is a family collection, formed over two generations with a guiding spirit of shared taste and scholarship. Harry Franklin was one of the prominent early-figures in the field of primitive art, and with his wife, Ruth, he began forming a collection of African art in 1938. Previously, the couple had collected American art. Seren-dipitously, however, one of the contemporary American artists in whom they were interested owned several pieces of African art. After seeing them, the Franklins, enthralled, radically changed their direction of collecting, and, since then, they have focused on the extraordinary sculpture of Africa. It is worth noting that few collectors in the 1930s and 1940s knew much about this field. With remarkable passion and per-sistence, the Franklins set about acquiring the finest pieces of African art they could find. Valerie Franklin, their daughter, grew up surrounded by these wonderful objects. Trained as an art historian, she became actively involved with shaping and refining the collection, complementing her father's experienced, intuitive eye with a more formally trained approach to connoisseurship. This inspired family partnership was to give the Franklin Collection added strength, character, and direction. "Our goal," Valerie Franklin has written, "was to have a series of masterpieces that are supported and illuminated by an in-depth range of sculptures demonstrating the collective and individual artistic genius of a tribe. When one knows only a single example of artistry from a tribe, one has a perspective of that tribal aesthetic which is restricted to a single piece. In order to understand a particular tribal aesthetic, it is necessary to see a number of variations on a theme. It is rather like hearing one movement of a symphony and trying to understand the artistic intent. Upon hearing three movements of the symphony the artistic statement becomes clear." The breadth and depth of the Franklin Collection is seen clearly in the rich diversity of Baule material, with examples of three figural types, unusual and classical mask variations, and miniatures. In the Senufo section, the collection embraces an exceptional group of mask types as well as smaller classical figural sculptures. In the Yoruba grouping, the collection represents most of the major artistic hands identified in the last decade, with many important types of ritual and masquerade objects included. Highlighting the group are two major examples (lots 314 and 315) of the work of the greatest Yoruba carver, Olowe of Ise. ? (Vorwort Robert C. Woolley) // ...
