We have very RR much admired the su ärb quality of this admirable publication. I have suggested to Professor Karlgren, the Gothenbourgh sinologue that we will write a review of this volume conjointly, he dealing with the in- scriptions and I with the objects. I will write to Mr Yetts to tnis effect. I now want to ask your stolötly confindential advice con- cerning a problem which of late has become very important to us. Mr R. Hultmark a friend and supporter of this institube has bought from Yamanaka the two big Wei horses which were exhibited in Berlin, Catalogue-number 278, and he has very kindly deposited tihem in this museum. Very unfortunately he did not consult us before making the arrangement with Yamanaka, otherwise I would have told him about the doubts expressed by Vignier. When I first saw the horses in Berlin I was very mucBk Struck by their size and beauty and felt rather anxious to have the opinion of conoisseurs,. When I came back to Berlin late in March I met Vignier in the exhibition, With usual vigour he expressed his very positive026 & 2- opinions about itnings, good and bad. Evidently he entertained very great doubts about these beautiful horses and he based his hesitation upon the fact that certain of the decorated elements seemed to him to be later töms tne Wei period, Having promised my friend Mr, Hultmark. to. do evrything in my power to elucidate the question of the authenticity of these speci- mens, I would very highly appreciate your strictly confidential opinion on these horses which you certainly closely. examined at the occasion of your visit to! Berlin. 7 I have addressed similar inquires to several of my frierds ineluding Mr. Hobson and Hr, Loo, and I give you all the same guaran. tee that your statements will never be used individually but only for the purpose of forrjiing a general opinion on these interesting objects. ön gå Thanking you in anticipation for your kind help in this matter i Yours very sincerelyTillverkadAndersson, Johan Gunnar1929-04-27MottagenEumorfopoulos, Georgeimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10117231/E1A-3_0126a.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10117230/E1A-3_0126a.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#cc0Andersson, Johan GunnarUtgången upphovsrättimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10117235/E1A-3_0126b.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10117234/E1A-3_0126b.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#cc0Andersson, Johan GunnarUtgången upphovsrätthttp://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkiv/204082http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/1239710http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/3212815http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/html/515871http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/xml/515871http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/rdf/515871
