Alexander Basilewsky was a Russian Diplomat living in Paris during the
nineteenth century. Over a period of
forty years he formed this collection which created a furore when exhibited at
the 1878 Exposition Universelle. In 1884
he decided to sell the collection by auction but before this could happen, Alexander
III of Russia stepped
in and created a sensation by purchasing the entire collection for six million
francs. The Catalogue Raisonné
comprised 561 objects consisting of ‘L’Art des Catacombes’, ‘L’Art Byzantin’,
L’Art du Moyen Age’ and L’Art de la Renaissance’.

ENGELHARDT, Conrad. Denmark in the Early Iron Age, illustrated
by recent discoveries in the Peat Mosses
of Slesvig. By Conrad
Engelhardt, Late Director of the Museum of Northern Antiquities at
Flensborg. London and Edinburgh:
Williams and Norgate, 1866 Roy.4to. xi,80pp.
numerous illustrations on 33 carefully engraved plates, (2 double-page),
numerous text illustrations, appendix.
“The following pages are principally devoted to a description of two great
deposits of antiquities discovered in the peat-mosses of Thorsbjerg and Nydam,
in South Jutland (Slesvig). They were
excavated under my superintendence during the summers of the years 1858 to
1863, at the expense of the Danish Government,...” Engelhardt discovered complete two clinker built boats as well as
numerous weapons, tools and pieces of clothing in the peat bog. The had been sunk around the 3rd to 4th
century in the then lake as a sacrifice.
As he quickly completed the excavation the Prussian-Danish war broke out
in this very area, during which the smaller of the two boats was cut up and
burnt as firewood by soldiers. The
larger boat however survived. The finds
of amazing richness including the famous large oak boat are beautifully drawn
by the draughtsman Magnus Petersen. A
nice copy with new end-papers, in the original cloth, now rather faded, the
spine slightly frayed at head and tail. £
