celebrations# They would, however, be grateful to be given
further particulars of the date and place of the Exhibition
as they are anxious, if possible, that the bottle should not
be absent from the Museum’s collection during the last week
in July, 1939, when the members of the International
Congress of the History of Art will be visiting London.
4. With regard to Your Excellency’s request for an
exhibit from the British Museum I have the honour to inform
you that under the British Museum Act, 1924, which embodies
all the powers possessed by the Trustees for making loans,
they are not empowered to make loans abroad. They regret
therefore that it will not be possible for them to lend the
’’Genealogy of the Kings of Portugal” by Antonio da Holanda
and Simao Bening, to the Portuguese Government.
5. The Trustees of the National Maritime Museum have
expressed regret that they are unable to accede to the
request for the loan of the painting ’’Manueline Ships”, as
this picture is the only one belonging to the Trustees which
represents vessels of the XVth century painted by a XVth
century artist, and the donor of the picture stipulated
that it should not leave Greenwich.
6. I shall have the honour to address a further note
to you as soon as a reply is received from the Government of
India as to the possibility of obtaining the loan of suitable
objects from the authorities at Muscat.
I have the honour to be, with the highest
consideration,
Your Excellency’s obedient Servant,
(For the Secretary of State)
