20 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1959 
dated 1585, in almost perfect condition, is exceptional in that most 
wares of this type lack the spout or handle or both. The collection of 
170 glass items donated by Mrs. Clara W. Berwick includes a rare 
group comprising early American glass pieces of Stiegel and Amelung 
type, as well as later wares from the famous Sandwich factory in Mas- 
sachusetts. Mrs. Mary Roebling gave three sculptured birds and the 
figures of horses by Edward Marshall Boehm. Mrs. George Hewitt 
Myers presented 48 pieces of Castleford porcelain made in England 
between 1790 and 1820. Among these rare items are teapots and 
pitchers decorated with an American eagle after the design of con- 
temporary coins. 
The division of graphic arts acquired an important group of fine 
prints. The selection of these examples by outstanding printmakers 
from the year 1500 to the present day made it possible to fill a number 
of significant gaps in the collection. The prints include an engraving 
by the Italian Renaissance master Marcantonio Raimondi, “St. Ce- 
celia”; two prints by important French artists of the turn of the 20th 
century—a lithograph by Edouard Manet, “La Barricade,” and a 
color lithograph by Edouard Vuillard, “Les Deux Belles Soeurs”; 
and an exceptionally fine impression of an etching by Rembrandt van 
Rijn, “Landscape with a Flock of Sheep.” A 50-line halftone screen 
was presented by Max Levy & Co., Philadelphia, through Howard 
S. Levy; R. R. Donnelley & Sons Co., Chicago, through Walter L. 
Howe, gave a panel describing the rotogravure process; and the firm 
of Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier, Inc., Boston, donated the first 
battery-operated portable electronic flash unit, invented by Dr. Harold 
EK. Edgerton. 
The division of textiles received from Arthur E. Wullschleger an 
18th-century French hand-and-foot treadle loom to which a Jacquard 
head had been added in the 19th century. Mr. Wullschleger obtained 
the loom in Lyons, France, and it was renovated at Wedgewood Mills, 
Jewett City, Conn. An excellent model of the 1787 patent of Cart- 
wright’s power loom, an invention unrepresented in the national 
collection, was made by Robert Klinger of the exhibits staff. A fine 
collection of 46 18th- and 19th-century printed cottons was given 
by Mrs. Kenneth Franzheim. Beautiful examples of contemporary 
hand- and power-woven fabrics were presented by the Irish Linen 
Guild, Potomac Craftsmen, Designer-Weavers, the American Cotton 
Manufacturers Institute, the Corduroy Council, the International 
Silk Association, and the Man-Made Fibers Association. 
The division of industrial cooperation received the original equip- 
ment used in 1956-57 to carry out the experiments suggested by Nobel 
prize winners Dr. T. D. Lee of Columbia University and Dr. C. N. 
Yang of the Institute for Advanced Studies to demonstrate that in
