Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present an outline sketch of Carl Kallenberg, a little-known nineteenth-century collector of antiquities, and the circumstances of his purchase of Late Antique textiles from Egypt, and to summarize the further history of this ensemble. Calling on an essay published in 1890 by Kallenberg in Der Sammler and on an unpublished notebook of the antiquary and collector Robert Forrer, the paper examines the potential of these sources to complement our knowledge of the beginnings of interest in Late Antique textiles from Egypt, traces the provenance of Kallenberg’s specimens in early collections and assesses their possible whereabouts today.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the History of Collections is dedicated to providing the clearest insight into all aspects of collecting activity. For centuries collecting has been the pursuit of princes and apothecaries, scholars and amatuers alike. Only recently, however, has the study of collections and their collectors become the subject of great multidisciplinary interest. The range of the Journal of the History of Collections embraces the contents of collections, the processes which initiated their formation, and the circumstances of the collectors themselves. As well as publishing original papers, the Journal includes listings of forthcoming events, conferences, and reviews of relevant publications and exhibitions.
