The son of Hermann Muthesius, the German architect and interior designer Eckart Muthesius lived in India between 1930-1939. The Maharaja of Indore commissioned him to decorate and design his Palace at Manik Bagh in the modern International Style; it became a large-scale art project and Muthesius incorporated furniture designed by Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer and Ivan da Silva Bruhns. He often returned to Berlin to collaborate on the projects for the furniture for the palace and this portrait was likely taken on one of those visits. Lotte Jacobi portrayed many famous figures of the day such as Albert Einstein, Emil Jannings, Lotte Lenya and Käthe Kollwitz. – Some creases in corners, otherwise in good condition.Lit.: Reto Niggl.

It contains the Experimentum Crucis & has effectually put a stop to the sneers of those little minded Persons who think everything impossible which does not come within the narrow sphere of their own comprehension. I regret that your confirmation of the Fact I had adduced, is not more generally known. You will be surprised to hear that this day before a Committee of the House of Commons, Dr [George] Pearson exalted at having refuted my preposterous supposition respecting the origin of the Cowpox. This circumstance alone will, I trust, induce you to send some of your pamphlets to London where they have a long time been loudly call’d for and I hope too that you will fully advertise it in the London Papers. …', concluding the letter with indirect reference to true and spurious horsepox, 3 pages with further text written horizontally at head and foot of page 4 (inside folds of address panel), some age wear to folds, small contemporary light blue-green stain to one fold intersection in lower part of letter, with very slight acidic loss to paper but barely touching letters and with no loss of sense and away from signature, indistinct circular postmark and seal remains, address and outer panels soiled, 4to, together with a half-length oval albumen print portrait of Dr Loy as an elderly man, 1850s, 9 x 7 cm, passe-partout mount within decorative oval wooden wall frame, inscribed 'Dr Loy' in an old hand to backing paper, overall 27 x 23 cmQty: (2)NOTESFrom the family of Dr John Glover Loy (1774-1865) by direct descent. An important unpublished letter concerning the work of Dr Loy which proved Jenner's view that the origins of cowpox was a disease of horses known as 'grease' (horsepox), and supported the role of horsepox in the prevention of smallpox. W.R. LeFanu, A Bio-Bibliography of Edward Jenner 1749-1823 lists only 3 letters from Loy to Jenner, 26 December 1802 and two undated letters from 1803. See John G. Loy, An Account of Some Experiments on the Origin of Cow-Pox, Whitby, 1801. Dedicated 'To Edward Jenner, M.D., F.R.S., F.L.S., etc.'. 13 October 1801. [LeFanu, p. 151] José Esparza, Livia Schrick, Clarissa R. Damaso & Andreas Nitsche, 'Equination (inoculation of horsepox): 'An early alternative to vaccination (inoculation of cowpox) and the potential role of horsepox virus in the origin of the smallpox vaccine', Vaccine, 35:52, 19 December 2017, pp. 7222-7230: 'A little-known fact is that Edward Jenner himself considered that the preventative against smallpox which is present in cowpox lesions, in fact derived from a disease of horses known as “grease” (horsepox). Early in the 19th century, European physicians conducted experiments that seemed to confirm the hypothesis that horsepox could protect against smallpox. Because of the relative rarity of cases of spontaneous cowpox, matter obtained from either cowpox or horsepox was interchangeably used in the protection against smallpox. Congruent with the use of the word vaccination, the inoculation from the horse (Lat. equus) was referred to as “equination”.' (p. 7223). 'The first independent evidence in support of a horsepox role in the prevention of smallpox was published in 1801 by John Glover Loy, a Yorkshire physician. Loy described several cases of people who became infected while treating horses suffering from grease or of individuals inoculated with horse matter that had been passaged in cows. Loy reported that the lesions produced had exactly the appearance of genuine cowpox, and in many cases the individuals were shown to be protected from variolation. A most important observation made by Loy was that “two kinds of Grease exist, differing from each other in the power of giving disease to the human or brute animal”, an observation that mirrors Jenner’s description of “true” and of “spurious” cowpox, which could explain the lack of success of some earlier investigators who attempted to equinate. The work of Loy was not in total agreement with Jenner’s original hypothesis which required that the horse matter was first modified by a passage in the cow before it could fully function as a preventative of smallpox. Nevertheless, Jenner considered that Loy’s work “decisively proves (his) early assertions” about the horse origin of vaccinia, although Jenner never again adopted the horsepox theory in his publications. Additional confirmation of the horsepox hypothesis was provided by Luigi Sacco, an Italian physician responsible for the early introduction and widespread use of vaccination in Northern Italy. In a letter from Sacco to Jenner, dated 25 March 1803, he explains that after reading the book by John Loy, he was encouraged to continue his own experiments to try to obtain the vaccine from horses with grease.'

The above account was transmitted from Botany Bay, after leaving this place the expedition was never heard of again." (Sabin).
