Schumacher’s labels He wrote tiny labels on hand-made paper. The information is limited to the species name in Latin [occasionally also french]. He continued with his own cat. Num-ber. Occasionally he also wrote abbreviated references to Chemnitz, number of specimens, locality, and Lin: if the species was described by Linnaeus or m: if it was his own manuscript name. (Fig. 53).

He returned from travel abroad in 1789 and started as curator. The castle Christiansborg burnt 1795, but many paintings in the castle and the Kunstkammer collection were saved thanks to Spengler’s heroic efforts. After his father’s death he took over the management of art at the royal collection. His main interest was fine arts, so he did not continue his father’s work with natural science. – In 1823 J.C.

Spengler signed a receipt with all catalogue numbers of Lorenz Spengler’s shell collection after its transfer from the Royal Art Museum to the Royal Natural History Museum. See also under Wad and CVIII.

Spengler, Lorenz (1720–1807). Master turner at the royal court, curator (Kunstkammerfor-valter) of art at the royal collection (Kunst-kammeret). Personality according to Bricka:

very skillful, kind, fair, thoughtful of others, and popular with everybody. He started as curator in 1771 and worked in this position

until his death. In 1799 Spengler published an overview of cardiids, including descriptions of new species. Spengler received tempting offers to sell all his shell collections abroad, but he sold them to the Danish State in 1804.

Today they are preserved at the ZMUC in the special collections. A painting and a copper of Spengler are available. (Figs. 54, 55).

Spengler’s catalogue 1775 (T 274). “Descrip-tion of the shell collec“Descrip-tion in the royal Cham-ber of Art, previously not properly described and not numbered at all”. Dated Copenhagen 1775, the inventory describes the king’s col-lection of natural history objects, referred to as the Kunstkammer. He wrote in German, (goth-ic handwriting) following his appointment to manager (forvalter) of the Kunstkammer in 1771. Spengler stated that the collection had grown over the years. Additions had come

from the Castles Gottorp and Rosenborg.

In 1732 the king Christian VI added many specimens purchased from a dealer in natural science objects. At that time the collection was structured according to Rumphs Amboinische Rariteten Kammer. However, Spengler fol-lowed the Systema naturae of Linnaeus 1758 and hoped that the collection would become useful in the future. (Fig. 56).

Spengler’s collection transferred 1804 Spen-gler’s shells were transferred to Naturhistorie-Selskabet 1804 and subsequently to KM = the Royal Museum.

Spengler’s collection transferred 1823 (T 274).

Lorenz Spengler’s numbered catalogue from the Royal Chamber of Art was officially trans-ferred to the Royal Natural History Museum in 1823. G.Wad received Spengler’s catalogue through J.C.Spengler, son of L.Spengler.

Spengler’s labels Spengler wrote with a goose quill on hand-made paper. The size of labels was adjusted to the amount of information.

He used a mixture of Latin (for the species)

Steenstrup, Japetus (1813–1897). Danish Professor zoologiae, state councellor (Es-tatsraad, obsolete title) 1845–1885. Direc-tor with NaturhisDirec-torisk Forenings Museum 1841–42. From 1848–64 he was member of the management of the Royal Natural history Museum (Det kgl. naturhistoriske Museum).

He became co-director with that museum in 1851. He was a controversial person at his age.

Contemporary Danish scientists blamed him for nepotism, misinterpretations and hasty conclusions. The accusations were partly based on facts, partly on envy. However, as a museum man he was extraordinary. He devel-oped the Zoological Museum and thanks to his efforts the collections grew to previously un-known heights. Personally he also contributed many specimens to ZM. See under Steenstrup
