Verzamelgeschiedenis (toelichting) provenance | 'The day book entry of 29 April 1901 acknowledges the arrival of 10 Benin objects (RV-1286-1 to -10) that were bought from J.F.G. Umlauff in Hamburg.[...] Later that year on 3 July 1901 Umlauff sold 7 objects (RV-1310-1 to -7) to the museum.' 'On 7 June 1901 Umlauff sent an offer of Benin artworks (RV-1310-1 to -7). The offer was accepted on 19 June and the objects were shipped on 4 July 1901 (CL-L: NL-LdnRMV-A1-277-1/282 [89]). Finally, ‘Bought from J.F.G. Umlauff in Hamburg. 7 Benin bronzes’ became part of the collection. The museum register lists the objects together with ‘old numbers’ which are likely to have been Umlauff’s own numbering system (MR-L: NL-LdnRMV-A3-048-15).' (See also in this record 'andere nummers'). 'As with the acquisition of the Webster collection, Schmeltz again needed to secure funds. He first accepted the objects as a loan before acquiring them officially. The annual report documents the acquired series in detail and includes the names of all the donors for the acquisition (AR-L 1900-1901: 15). The annual report of the following year confirms the earlier statement saying that ‘The collections from the Kingdom of Benin were expanded in the much-desired way, first of all through a gift, for which we owe thanks to an anonymous benefactor, for objects that were up till now on loan to the Museum.’ The objects range across the three Umlauff series (RV-1286, RV-1310, RV-1355).'

Digital Benin collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards African and African diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Digital Benin’s views. Digital Benin maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
