Royal ctavo (9 14" x 6 1/8") issued in wrappers with black and gilt lettering. 1st edition. Robert Woods Bliss was the earliest of the serious collectors of Pre-Columbian art. In 1945, he wrote to the secretary of his Harvard class: About forty years ago [closer to thirty years, in fact] I became interested in the sculpture and artifacts in general of the various pre-Columbian cultures of Mexico, Central America, and the west coast of South America. At that time few, if any of our art museums had on display these objects, which were only made available to the public in museums of natural history as part of their archaeological finds. To me, many of the pieces I saw had artistic significance and also revealed remarkable craftsmanship. So I began to collect, buying only pieces which appealed to me as objects of art . . . I began to try to impress upon others the importance of the history of art, of the stylized and powerful sculpture of the early inhabitants of the western hemisphere. . . . In an obituary of Mr. Bliss, Samuel Lothrop wrote that: "The primary effect of the Bliss Collection has been a wider acceptance of aboriginal American artifacts as art. Robert Woods Bliss acquired his first object at the beginning of developing appreciation of the aesthetic merits of ancient American art. In the spring of 1912, in Paris, he was taken to the shop of Joseph Brummer on the Boulevard Raspail by Royall Tyler. At [this] Paris shop, Robert Bliss apparently saw Pre-Columbian objects--certainly, ancient Mexican objects--for the first time. Within a year after the visit to Brummer, Mr. Bliss acquired from him a remarkable first piece, an Olmec figure, then labeled "Aztec." [In] 1908, [Robert Bliss] married Mildred Barnes. In 1920 Mr. and Mrs. Bliss . . . acquired Dumbarton Oaks, which they restored and enlarged, and where they installed their collections. Robert Bliss' Pre-Columbian collecting was desultory until 1940, when the Blisses, apparently foreseeing changes the coming war would bring, gave Dumbarton Oaks to Harvard, along with the Byzantine Collection and Library that they had jointly acquired. Mrs. Bliss had also collected books on landscape architecture and developed the Dumbarton Oaks gardens. In the years from about 1940 until his death in 1962, Mr. Bliss concentrated on acquiring Pre-Columbian objects. In 1947 the Robert Woods Bliss Collection of Pre-Columbian Art was lent for exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, where it remained and grew until 1962. As Lothrop later remarked, "No art museum in the United States maintained a comparable display at that time." The first catalogue of the Bliss Collection, Indigenous Art of the Americas, was published by the National Gallery. In it, Mr. Bliss wrote: "I have collected . . . objects which gave me pleasure-a sculpture boldly conceived; a gold object delicately wrought; a fabric of good design, well woven; ceramics with interesting iconography; metal work of quality-a rhythm here, a form there. . ." He was interested in "examples of fine workmanship or of an interesting concept." Mr. Bliss acquired from Ernest Brummer, just after the death of Brummer's brother Joseph in 1947, a group of objects, including the Tlazoteotl figure the Aztec rabbit with Eagle Warrior, an elaborately carved Veracruz yoke, and a miniature Teotihuacan mask, which had belonged to President Porfirio Diaz, whose widow sold it in Paris. The provenience of the Tlazoteotl was also interesting. It was "rumored" to have been brought to France by an officer who had served under Maximilian in Mexico, and later bought in Paris for a collection of "hard, worked stones" and published in the Journal de la Societe des Americanistes, Paris. [The Blisses] traveled to sites in Mexico and Guatemala. They went into Tikal . . . and Mr. Bliss advocated a program there. He supported Peabody Museum excavations at Venado Beach, in the Panama Cana. …
