One of the finest natural historical collections in Denmark in the first half of the nineteenth century, toward the end of the age of great private cabinets, was that of King Christian VIII (1786-1848, king from 1839). It was founded as the young Prince Christians instructional collection; the teaching took a strong hold on him, and the prince in time came to possess «a mineralogical and malacological collection of real scientific significance», a collection «to be reckoned with».

The University

Since the 1990s, the Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali di Torino houses the ornithological collection formerly belonging to the Zoological Museum of the University of Turin (MZUT). This collection includes about 20,500 specimens, mostly dating from the second half of the nineteenth century or early twentieth. The high number of type-specimens gives it great historical and scientific significance. The types have been described mainly by Tommaso Salvadori (171 taxa, 282 specimens) and, to a lesser extent, by other Italian authors such as Enrico Festa, Filippo de Filippi, Orazio Antinori, Enrico H. Giglioli or by foreign authors as John Gould, Eduard Rüppell, Coenraad Jacob Temminck, Philip L. Sclater, Robert Swinhoe.

Scholarly Attention

Abstract The focus of this article lays on the Cossack-rooted noble stratum on the Left Bank Ukrainian lands in the course of the long nineteenth century. It is asserted that various aspects of the issue have attracted scholarly attention in recent decades. The author approaches the subject through the examination of literary and historical works as well as private historical collections which the Ukrainian noble families possessed during the period. The evocative role of these artifacts is evaluated from the perspective of the “Cossack myth” and the restoration of the hetmancy in 1918.

The arrangement of the Wilanów collection was carried out in the first half of the nineteenth century, whereas the Krasiński collection was arranged in the early twentieth century respectively the 1950’s or 1960’s in the case of drawings by Norwid. This contribution describes the structure of mountings found in these collections, as well as the historical context in which they were created. It serves as a starting point to provide an outline of the history of conservation methods and preservation of prints’ and drawings’ collections in Poland.
