- Abstract
The article discusses the Moritz Sobernheim Collection of Ancient Glass, which was sold at auction in New York City on April 19, 1952. Topics discussed include how many of these objects have found their way into The Corning Museum of Glass since then, how the collection was acquired by Moritz Sebastian Sobernheim, a prominent Jewish archaeologist, and how in the late 1910s Sobernheim turned his attention from archaeology to Zionist and progressive Jewish causes.
