MASTERPIECES HARMED AT SEA
London, July 3. An unexplained accident to paintings lent by the National and Tate Galleries, while being sent back after exhibition in Australia; New Zealand and South Africa, is recorded in the annual report of the Empire Loan Collectors’ Society. One of the cases was seriously damaged by water but it is impossible to discover how or where, the damage occurred. Herkhomer’s painting, “The Chapel of the Charterhouse,” was damaged beyond repair, but Turner’s “Entrance to the Meuse” was successfully repaired at a cost of £ 350. This was met by insurance, and £ 1200 compensation was received for the Herkhomer.
