Commissioned by Jonathan Rose, Sr. (1668–1736), Branford. Conn., for his son Jonathan Rose, Jr. (1698–1768), Branford, Conn., and Abigail Rose (née Abigail Barker, 1670–1755), Branford, Conn., around 1724; by inheritance to Jonathan Rose, Jr., 1736 [see note 1]; by inheritance to their son Justus Rose (1732–1810), Branford, Conn., and his wife Lydia Rose (née Lydia Russell, 1741–1831), Branford, Conn., 1768; by inheritance to their son Jonathan Rose (1781–1862), North Branford, Conn., and his wife Harriet Rose (née Harriet Woodward, 1780–1836), North Branford, Conn., 1810 [see note 2]. Purchased by William B. Curtiss, Jr. (1844–1910), North Branford, Conn., in 1868 [see note 3]. Purchased by New Haven Water Company, New Haven, Conn., 1922 [see note 4]; sold to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 1926\r\n\r\nNote 1: The house was built by Jonathan Rose, Sr. around the time of his son’s marriage to Abigail Barker, performed by Rev. Samuel Russell on November 23, 1724. Jonathan Sr. transferred titled of the property in his will, drawn up in 1728 and executed in 1736, bequeathing “to my well beloved son Jonathan Rose all my farm or land at Goshen in aforesaid Branford with the house and barn thereunto belonging where he now lives as a good estate of inheritance in fee simple” (copy of Jonathan Rose, Sr., will in curatorial object file). Prior to 1831 North Branford was part of Branford.\r\n\r\nNote 2: The will of Justus Rose, drawn up August 26, 1801 and executed 1811, gave one-third of the house and a life tenancy to his wife with the balance going to their son Jonathan (copy of Justus Rose will in curatorial file 1926.114). Jonathan Rose and Harriet Woodward were wed September 8, 1803. Harriet gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and died March 31, 1836. Jonathan remarried to Sally Baldwin Harrison (1791–1880) of Branford on October 12, 1837, officiated by Rev. Timothy P. Gillett. It was also Sally’s second marriage; her first husband, General Philo Harrison, died July 18, 1829. Jonathan predeceased Sally and it is unknown if she or one of her step-children inherited the property. \r\n\r\nNote 3: Various local histories have called the property the Rose-Curtiss House, after its first and last private owners. It is unclear which Curtiss owned the house. Rev. William B. Curtiss (1812–1888) was a clergyman of note and the likely purchaser of the property, although the United States censuses for 1870, 1880, and 1900 list William Sr. as a resident and his son, William Jr., as a farmer and head of household. William Jr. married Bertha Grant (1847–1883) and then in 1885 remarried to Katherine A. Curtiss (1864–unknown). It is unknown if William Jr. predeceased his wife or if she inherited the property.\r\n\r\nNote 4: The New Haven Water Company purchased some forty properties in North Branford in order to flood the area and create a reservoir called Lake Galliard. On the advice of architect J. Frederick Kelly and antiquarian George Dudley Seymour and using funds provided by Francis P. Garvan, Yale purchased and extracted two first floor rooms and the staircase prior to the demolition of the house (curatorial object file).

For more than half a century it has been said that this object was owned originally by Charles Carroll (1737-1832) of Carrollton, Md., but to date no firm evidence to substantiate this tradition has been discovered.  It also has been stated that the table was owned by Dr. Henry J. Berkley, an early collector of Maryland furniture, but this does not seem to have been the case.  Berkley was the first to publish the table, in Antiques in 1930, and he probably lent his photograph of the table to William MacPherson Hornor, who published it the next year in International Studio, \"courtesy of Dr. Henry J. Berkley,\" whereby the tradition began. R.T. Haines Halsey (1865–1942), New York, NY, by 1929; purchased by Francis P.

On f. 154v the s. XV ownership inscription of the Cistercian abbey of Boulbonne (Haute-Garonne), for which (and probably where, at least for the first section) the manuscript was written in two phases and where Pope Benedict XII had been a monk: “Iste liber est monasterii Beate Marie de Bolbona” (Gothica Cursiva). Notes in Swedish s. XIX and XX on the flyleaves. On the second front flyleaf recto a large painting s. XIX (?) containing a painter's palette and the text “Ex libris Guthi of Berglund” on a blue background in a flowery border. On the rear flyleaf verso the note “Ex Amalthaea Bosbona (?)” and a rectangular stamp with inscription “Börje Israelsons Bibliotek”. Purchased from Les Enluminures Ltd., Chicago, Paris, on the Edwin J. Beinecke Fund.
On the front pastedown the s. XV title “Vocabularius”, the number “19” (s. XIX) and the s. XVIII/XIX inscription “MS. 64”. On the basis of the remnants of three labels on the front pastedown and a pressmark label at the bottom of the spine the manuscript is believed to have belonged to a convent in Bressanone (Brixen) - either the Poor Clares or (more probably, given the contents) the Franciscans. The manuscripts of both convents were in the early twentieth century brought together in Solbad Hall (Tyrol), and hence dispersed. MS 91 in the collection of Bernard M. Rosenthal. Purchased from him on the Edwin J. Beinecke Fund.

Walter, New York (sale Christie's, New York, 24 January 2003, sale BLIVVET-1194, lot 84)\r\n\r\n*One important factor in the painting's provenance needs to be highlighted.  Although it left Italy in the eighteenth century, it belonged to the Van Diemen Gallery in Berlin by 1930.  Clearly it was acquired under legitimate circumstances by the Van Diemen Gallery, but it has not been possible to determine when or to whom it was sold by them.  The Van Diemen Gallery relocated from Berlin to New York before 1935, becoming Van Diemen Lillienfeld.  There is every reason to imagine that this painting presents no improprieties of provenance, but we have no hard proof of that.  The present owner of the Van Diemen Lillienfeld stock cards, which in any event go back only to 1945, can find no mention of this painting among them. \r\n\r\nPaul Graupe Collection, Berlin, 25 January 1935 (sale of Van Diemen Gallery Collection, Berlin, Vanni's Madonna della Pappa not included).

Part I: Materials in Part I of the Kissinger Papers document his life from 1957 to 1982 and include copies of records from his government service.  Part I was given to the Library of Congress by Henry A. Kisinger in 1976 and 1977, shortly after leaving office.  Consult the Library of Congress (http://www.loc.gov/rr/mss/) for further information.<p>Part II is comprised of materials that are owned either by the Library of Congress or Yale University (Yale) and document Dr. Kissinger’s pre-government, government and post-government careers.  When they were in Dr. Kissinger’s possession, the papers formed an integrated collection. To maintain that integrity, as well as increase access to these materials, the two institutions agreed to a joint project undertaken by Yale to arrange, describe and digitize them.  Each institution now holds both paper and digital copies of Part II.  The work was funded by Charles Johnson, Yale class of 1954, and Nicholas Brady, Yale Class of 1952.</p><p>Part III: Materials in Part III were originally maintained by Dr. Kissinger’s staff.  They primarily document his post-government years.  They were gifted to Yale in 2011.

Possibly Dr. George Way Harley (1894–1966) Ganta, Liberia [see note 1]; sold to Dr. Ralph Linton (1893–1953), by 1953 [see note 2]; by descent to his wife, Adelin Hohlfield Linton (1899–1977); sold to Marie-Louise Montgomery Osborn (1905–1968) and James Marshall Osborn (1906–1976), 1954; given to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.,1955\r\n\r\nNote 1: George Way Harley, M.D. Yale University, 1923, was an American Methodist Medical Missionary who was the founder and superintendent of Ganta Mission, Ganta, Liberia between 1926–1960. He was a Research Associate in Anthropology at the Peabody Museum, Harvard University between 1932–1962 and he acquired many artworks for institutions and private collectors during this time. This work was possibly featured in the 1956 exhibition African Tribal Sculpture. In the accompanying publication (Plass 1956) Plass states that the featured group of miniature wooden masks in the Osborn collection were collected in Liberia by Dr. Harley. Louis T. Wells Jr. also states that Linton was an early customer of Dr. Harley (see Wells Jr., Louis. \"The Harley Masks of Northeast Liberia\" African Arts, Jan., 1977, Vol. 10, No. 2, pp. 22–27+91–92)\r\n\r\nNote 2: Ralph Linton was the Sterling Professor of Anthropology at Yale from 1946 until his death in 1953. He paid Harley for unspecified objects in a letter dated May 30, 1952 (for letter see curatorial object file).
Possibly Stable Gallery, New York, February 17, 1956 or possibly Alfred Stendahl Gallery, Los Angeles, March 1, 1957; Fred H. Olsen (1891–1986), and Florence Quittenton Olsen, Guilford, Conn.; gift in 1958 to Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.
Possibly acquired in Nigeria, during the Biafran war, 1967–1970 [see note 1]. Mr. Mark W. Neitlich (b.1926) and Mrs. Eleanor Neitlich, Oyster Bay, New York; donated to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 1972\r\n\r\nNote 1:\r\n\r\nFemale figure was accessioned as ‘Igbo, Female shrine figure.’ A catalogue note in the accession file for the object by Yale History of Art Professor Robert Farris Thompson, and the Gallery's African Art Specialist in 1973, indicates the ownership history of the object “stems from Nigerian civil war and gathering up of art from destroyed Igbo villages.” (January 17, 1973)\r\n\r\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION\r\n\r\nThe Nigerian Civil War, or Biafran War, was a civil war in Nigeria fought between the Nigerian government, and the successionist state of Biafra, 1967–1970. Substantial looting of shrines by combatants took place and many objects were moved across the border into Cameroon, from where they were bought by traders and shipped to the Western art-market as commodities; during and after this period local Igbo traders who supplied regional dealers outside Nigeria were also known to have extracted pieces from their usage contexts in exchange for cash. See Sidney Littlefield Kasfir, African Art and the Colonial Encounter, Indiana University Press, 2007, p. 242, 247\r\n\r\nThe acquisition of Female Figure is at present unconfirmed. Research into its ownership history remains ongoing.
Possibly bought by Siegmann in Liberia or Sierra Leone before 1986\r\nBequest of William Siegmann to Yale University Art Gallery, 2016
Possibly owned by a Nathaniel Greene, either the one who lived from 1742-1786 or the one who was Register of Deeds in Boston; purchased in 1938 by Yale University.
Probably Elizabeth Bogart Clark (born probably 1861), New York, and Lemuel Howe Clark (born probably 1849) Westford, N.Y.; by descent to their son Arthur D. Clark (1877–1937), Long Branch, N.J. and later Springfield, Mass.; by descent to his son Lemuel Gilbert Clark (1907–1980), Springfield, Mass., Rochester, N.Y., East Orange and later Maplewood, N.J., St. David's, Pa., and later Chatham, Mass.; by descent to his wife Mary McVeigh Clark (1910–2014), later Essex, Conn.; by descent to her children Judith Clark Sonntag, New York, and Joseph Clark, East Haddam, Conn.; by gift to Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 2014
Probably George Peabody Wetmore (1846–1921) and Edith M.K. Wetmore (1848–1927), New York or Newport, R.I., by 1927; by inheritance to Edith Malvina K. Wetmore (1870–1966), New York or Newport, R.I., 1927 [see note 1]; bequeathed to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 1966\r\n\r\nNote 1: The will of George Peabody Wetmore, drawn up December 17, 1918, bequeaths Chateau-sur-Mer and its contents to his wife, Edith M.K. Wetmore, and following her death, to their daughters Edith Malvina K. Wetmore and Maude A.K. Wetmore (curatorial object file).
Probably Strawberry Hill sale, 1842, lot 1259, 10th day. Purchased by W.S. Lewis from Seymour de Ricci in Paris in May or June of 1926.
Probably commissioned between 1867 and 1870 for the marriage of Emma Wallach (born Hungary 1849, died New York 1913) and Anthony Wallach (born Hungary 1833, died New York 1904); probably by inheritance in 1913 to their niece Laura Schiele Wallach (born New York 1864, died New York ca. 1934) and her husband Samuel Wallach (born Hungary 1855, unknown death date); by inheritance ca. 1934 to their niece Elsie Davidson Keller (born New York 1882, died Hartford, Conn., 1976); by inheritance in 1976 to Elsie's granddaughter Elizabeth Keller Kagan (born Hartford, Conn. 1943, died Oakland, Cal. 2017); by gift of Elizabeth's estate to Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 2018
Probably commissioned by Prince Eugene Francis of Savoy-Carignano (1663–1736), Vienna, Austria [see note 1]. Hans Mueller (1868 –1923), Lebanon, Ky. by 1923; sale, Anderson Galleries, New York, March 12–14, 1925, lot 96 [see note 2]; probably sold to either Edith Malvina Keteltas Wetmore (1848–1927), New York or Newport, R.I., or Edith Malvina K. Wetmore (1870 –1966), New York or Newport, R.I. March 12–14, 1925 [see note 3]; bequeathed to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 1966\r\n\r\nNote 1: John Ayers, former Keeper of the Far Eastern Department at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, first identified the coat of arms as “princely,” because of the ermine mantling; he suggested that the order of the golden fleece would indicate the Hapsburg family, either Austrian or Iberian Peninsula, Spain or Portugal (notes from a conversation with John Ayers, May 6, 1985, curatorial object file). Indeed, an identical Armorial Dish, featured in Cohen and Cohen’s Spring 2020 auction catalogue, was similarly identified as bearing the “central underglaze blue armorial achievement of Prince Eugene of Savoy with the augmentation of the arms of the House of Austria,” and in 2019, three armorial plates bearing the arms of Prince Eugene of Savoy, sold at Christie’s, London,  from descendants of Prince Eugene of Savoy, thus, indicating that the original object was likely commissioned and owned by the Prince. (“Antiques and Fine Art Magazine,” Spring 2020, p. 18; The Royal House of Savoy, Christie’s, London, October 14, 2019, lot 90). \r\n\r\nNote 2: The will of Hans Mueller (1868 –1923), instructs his executrix and wife, Louise “Lulu” Kabert Mueller Steenman (1875–1948), to “within two years from my death, … either at private or public sale, as she may think proper, all real estate which I may own or have any interest in and give to the purchaser thereof a general warranty deed.” The proceeds were first to be used to pay any outstanding debts, and then be divided amongst Lulu and their two daughters, Gretchen Mueller (1899–1971) and Carola Mueller Montgomery Alderson (1905–1982) (copy of the will of Hans Mueller, Lebanon, Ky., July 1, 1922, curatorial object file). \r\n\r\nNote 3:  A small label attached to the bottom of the plate reads “acquired from Hans Mueller Sale, Anderson Galleries 3/12–14, 1925.” Much of the Wetmore bequest to the Gallery originally came from the collection of George Peabody Wetmore (1846–1921) at Chateau Sur Mer, having been bequeathed to his wife, Edith Malvina Keteltas Wetmore (1848–1927), and later, to their daughter Edith Malvina K. Wetmore (1870–1966). Both mother and daughter were also collectors, but it remains uncertain whether the buyer at the 1925 sale was Edith Malvina Keteltas Wetmore or Edith Malvina K. Wetmore.
Probably commissioned by the Oba of Benin, 18th–19th century [see note 1]; by descent to Oba Ovonramwen (Ovonramwen Nogbaisi) (ca. 1857– ca. 1914), Royal Palace, Benin City; looted during the Raid on Benin, February 1897, and removed from Benin City by Lieutenant Norman Burrows, Mellor Hall, Marple Bridge, Derbyshire [see note 1]; sold to Lieutenant-General Augustus Henry-Lane Fox Pitt-Rivers (1827–1900), Farnham, England, May 2, 1898. Josef Oskar Müller (1887–1977), Solothurn, Switzerland; sale, Christie’s, London, June 13, 1978; sold to Charles B. Benenson (1913–2004), Greenwich, Conn., bequeathed to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 2004\r\n\r\nNote 1: The Oba of Benin was the chief patron of the Igun Eronmwon (Royal Brasscasters Guild), but the royal artists could make pieces for other clients with special permission. The iconography of Disk suggests a royal commission.\r\n\r\nNote 2: An inscription in paint on the back of the disk reads, “Benin. BT. N. Burrows. Apr. 1898;” Lieutenant Burrows of the North Lancashire regiment was attached to the Niger Coast Protectorate Force from February 1895. The Raid on Benin was a British military led expedition against the west African Kingdom of Benin in retaliation over a trade dispute in January 1897. Despite fierce resistance, British troops captured, burned and looted Benin city, including much of the country’s art, which was taken to Britain. Although the ceremonial office of the Oba remains, Oba Ovonramwen was exiled, and the Benin kingdom ended following the British attack.\r\n\r\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION\r\n\r\nThe Gallery recognizes the looted status of objects from the Benin Kingdom in our collection and is part of ongoing conversations regarding these artworks. The ethics of collecting works of art removed from their countries of origin during periods of European colonialism or conflict is a subject of debate among collecting institutions, international governments, and the public. The Gallery is sensitive to the complex history of these objects and seeks to educate the wider Yale University, local, national, and international communities through their continued display.\r\n

The artist; sold to Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, Paris, possibly 1927 [see note 1]; sold to Percy M. Turner (dealer, The Independent Gallery), London, by January 1927; sold to Jacques Seligmann & Co., February 1927 (stock no. 3444); sold to Edith Malvina K. Wetmore (1870–1966), May 21, 1931; given to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 1966\r\n\r\nNote 1: Dauberville (1965) erroneously lists the date of sale to Galerie Bernheim-Jeune as February 1927. According to records of Jacques Seligmann & Co., the painting was with The Independent Gallery already by January 22, 1927, when César de Hauke, a sales representative for Jacques Seligmann & Co., expressed an interest in acquiring the painting on behalf of a client. (letter from César Mange de Hauke to Percy M. Turner, January 22, 1927, Jacques Seligmann & Co. records, 1904-1978, bulk 1913-1974, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, copy in curatorial file)
The beakers were presented to the University as \"relics\" that had descended from the Reverend Timothy Dwight (1752-1817), fourth president of Yale College. The donor, however, was a direct descendant of the Reverend Josiah Dwight (1671-1748), a graduate of Harvard whose progeny settled in Massachusetts and had no connections with Yale. None of Mary Dwight's ancestors were born or married in 1740. It is possible that Josiah Dwight purchased these beakers when he was rector of the First Church of Dedham, Massachusetts, between 1735 and 1740 (Benjamin W, Dwight, The History of the Descendents of John Dwight, of Dedham Massachusetts, 2 vols. [New York: John F. Trow and Son, 1874], 1:492-96). More recently, the beakers were among a group of family objects that were taken West at the turn of the century by the donor's father, Daniel H. Dwight (born 1862.) When she offered these heirlooms to Yale in 1964, Miss Dwight wrote from Spokane, Washington, \"It seems to me that they belong in New England among their own people where their history and associations are known\" (Mary E. Dwight to Kingman Brewster, 21 March 1964, Records of the Librarian, Manuscripts and Archives Division, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University.) Gift in 1965 to Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.
The correspondence and first set of pamphlets were maintained by Madeline Stanton, Secretary of the Historical Library, and held by the Historical Library since its inception. Stanton collected a variant set of pamphlets and clippings which she pasted on backing and annotated for a possible notebook or scrapbook.
The letters probably belonged to the library of the College of San Fernando. Given to the library by William Robertson Coe.
The painted inscription suggests that its original owner may have been Isaac Sebring, who was listed as a merchant in the New York directories between 1790 and 1822.  (New York Directory, 1790, p. 89; 1822, p. 397)  He may have been the same Isaac Sebring baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church on January 3, 1757, the son of Cornelius and Aaltje Sebring (IGI). R.T. Haines Halsey (1865–1942), New York, NY, probably 1908–29; purchased by Francis P. Garvan (1875–1937), New York, NY, 1929–30; gift to Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn., 1930
This broadside bears the book label of G. Cusach and was formerly in the library of Simon J. Schwartz of New Orleans which was sold at the Anderson Galleries in November 1926. Given to the library by William Robertson Coe.
This collection formerly belonged to Robert Brown, who commanded the Vancouver expedition. It was acquired from Prof. Rudmore-Brown of Trinity College, Dublin and given to the library by William Robertson Coe.

This dressing table and its matching high chest (1930.2000) have a history of ownership by Henry Wynkoop (1737-1816) and his wife Susanna Wanshaer Wynkoop (d. 1776), who were married in 1761, of Bucks County, Pa. in Wynkoop's will, dated 7 October 1813, he bequeathed to his daughter Christina several objects including his \"black walnut chest with drawers, dressing table & chairs.\"(1)  Christina Wynkoop (1763-1841) married Dr. Reading Beatty (1757-1831) in 1786, and according to tradition the objects passed to their daughter Mary (b. 1798).  Mary Beatty married the Reverend Robert Steel (1794-1862) of Abingdon, Pa., and was still living in 1873.  By tradition, the objects passed to her daughter Mary (b. 1839), who married Dr. Samuel D. Harvey of Jenkintown, Pa., in 1863.  Objects then passed to their daughter in the fifth generation, Mary Steel Harvey (b. 1864), of Baltimore, Md.  Miss Harvey sold the dressing table and high chest to dealer Henry V. Weil, New York, possibly in 1925; Weil sold the pair to Francis P. Garvan, New York. Gift in 1930 to Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.
This is possibly the \"painted . . . done on paper in water-colors\" that Garvan purchased from Charles Woolsey Lyon on November 1, 1918.  According to the bill of sale, Lyon acquired this object from a W.B. Nichols of Springfield, Massachusetts, who in turn had purchased it from an unidentified woman in South Wethersfield, Conn., \"in whose family it had always been\" (Lyon to Garvan, November 1, 1918, Charles Woolsey Lyon file, FPG-AAA). Gift in 1950 to Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.

When Daniel Catlin first put the spoons on loan at Yale he also conveyed information about the family history. His ancestors in eighteenth-century Boston included members of the Powell and Perkins families and it is probable that the initials are for a member of one of those families.\r\n\r\n\r\n
