  INSTALLATION 
  OF 
  THE 
  ALFRED 
  DUANE 
  PELL 
  COLLECTION 
  

  

  The 
  Smithsonian 
  Institution 
  was 
  able 
  to 
  avail 
  itself 
  of 
  the 
  services 
  

   of 
  Dr. 
  S. 
  W. 
  Woodhouse, 
  jr., 
  associate 
  of 
  the 
  Pennsylvania 
  Museum 
  

   and 
  School 
  of 
  Industrial 
  Art, 
  Philadelphia, 
  to 
  identify, 
  classify, 
  

   catalogue, 
  and 
  label 
  the 
  porcelain, 
  glassware, 
  silverware, 
  and 
  other 
  

   art 
  objects 
  of 
  the 
  Alfred 
  Duane 
  Pell 
  collection. 
  A 
  selection 
  of 
  typi- 
  

   cal 
  examples 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  groups 
  is 
  displayed 
  in 
  the 
  Pell 
  alcove 
  of 
  

   the 
  National 
  Gallery. 
  The 
  remainder 
  of 
  the 
  collection, 
  comprising 
  

   duplicates 
  of 
  the 
  porcelains 
  together 
  with 
  other 
  interesting 
  varieties 
  

   of 
  objects, 
  is, 
  due 
  to 
  lack 
  of 
  space 
  in 
  the 
  gallery, 
  installed 
  on 
  the 
  

   gallery 
  of 
  the 
  west 
  hall 
  in 
  the 
  arts 
  and 
  industries 
  building 
  of 
  the 
  

   National 
  Museum. 
  

  

  The 
  porcelains 
  of 
  this 
  collection 
  are 
  mainly 
  old 
  English, 
  Con- 
  

   tinental 
  European, 
  Russian, 
  and 
  Chinese, 
  though 
  there 
  are 
  a 
  few 
  

   individual 
  pieces 
  from 
  elsewhere. 
  Probably 
  the 
  most 
  attractive 
  

   group 
  comprises 
  25 
  examples 
  of 
  pate 
  sur 
  pate 
  by 
  Solon 
  from 
  the 
  

   Minton 
  factory. 
  The 
  Worcester 
  factory 
  is 
  rej)resented 
  by 
  many 
  

   pieces 
  from 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  Doctor 
  Wall, 
  and 
  his 
  immediate 
  successors 
  

   including 
  typical 
  old 
  patterns. 
  From 
  the 
  Sevres 
  factory 
  are 
  examples 
  

   from 
  almost 
  the 
  very 
  beginning 
  of 
  the 
  factory 
  down 
  to 
  the 
  latter 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  nineteenth 
  century, 
  including 
  pieces 
  from 
  the 
  services 
  of 
  

   Charles 
  X, 
  Louis 
  XVIII, 
  Louis 
  Philippe, 
  and 
  Louis 
  Napoleon, 
  with 
  

   biscuit 
  busts 
  of 
  many 
  French 
  notables. 
  There 
  are 
  many 
  pieces 
  from 
  

   old 
  Paris. 
  The 
  Meissen 
  factory 
  is 
  represented 
  by 
  examples 
  of 
  the 
  

   older 
  wares 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  by 
  more 
  modern 
  figures 
  and 
  animal 
  pieces. 
  

   Groups 
  from 
  Vienna 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  St. 
  Petersburg 
  Imperial 
  Factory 
  

   add 
  interest 
  to 
  the 
  collection. 
  The 
  products 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  were 
  made 
  

   exclusively 
  for 
  the 
  royal 
  family. 
  Mention 
  should 
  also 
  be 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  

   large 
  group 
  of 
  Chinese 
  blue 
  and 
  white 
  reticulate 
  ware 
  of 
  the 
  

   eighteenth 
  century.
