Collection Record

letter, 08/11/1935, H.D. Skinner to Mr. A. Lochore, Acknowledged Hon. Downie Stewart sent Skinner a cutting of Lochore's article "A Museum of Art" from the Auckland Herald of 05/10/1935. Agrees with general views in his articles. Says the Old World collections have been arranged to illustrate the history of art, beginning in the Old Stone Age. Under present state of NZ finance there should be no new museum organisation. Further agrees that fine reproductions of the world's greatest pictures should be secured in NZ and widely circulated.
