...such an outlet was an economic necessity. In 1921 the Allies made Bulgaria an offer of an enclave on the Aegean coast; this was unacceptable to her without a corridor through Western Thrace to the Bulgarian border.

...through agents. He is said to have had his collection in storage since 1912, and had not seen them until they were displayed at Christie's, when he was so delighted that he refused to give them up. But the sale could not be withdrawn without breaking faith with Christie's clients, and Sir Joseph set prohibitive prices. The chief other treasures sold were: ten Gainsboroughs for $139,185, including Portrait of Mrs. Drummond when a young lady and A Page, companion picture in blue to the famous Blue Boy, which Henry E. Huntington carried off last year...
