The breviary belonged originally to Eleanor, Queen of Portugal, who is depicted in prayer before the Virgin and Child in the opening miniature; it is not known, however, whether it was commissioned by the Queen herself, or whether it was a gift to her, (perhaps through the Netherlandish Hapsburg court, by Emperor Maximilian I or Margaret of Austria). |
It was purchased by J. P. Morgan from the Parisian art dealer Hamburger Frères in 1905: it is now in the collection of the Morgan Library & Museum, in New York. |
Marthe Bray |
Martha Bray or Martha Bray-Smeets (1884 – 1949) was a French suffragist who formed the Ligue d'action féminine to influence French opinion in favour of recognising women's right to vote. |
Bray was born in 1884. |
She was an admirer of the women's leader Hubertine Auclert. |
On 6 December 1925 she created the Ligue d'action féminine to influence French opinion to recognise that French women had the right to vote. |
She believed that giving women the vote may have been a way to avoid wars. |
Unlike Britain, France had not rewarded French women with the vote after the war, and the argument for women's suffrage was confused. |
Was the reason one of "right" or because of the benefits of fighting issues such as temperance, venereal disease or disarmament where there was a traditional women's lobby group. |
Marthe Bray's organisation used humour to win broad support in diiferent classes. |
Her organisation is estimated to have had about 500 members. |
The organisation she had formed was non-militant but Bray was envious of the militant tactics that had been used by the British Women’s Social and Political Union before the first World war. |
Bray’s organisation was looked on as a role model by the Americans. |
On 8 September 1926 they made the front page of the Paris daily newspaper Le Journal with coverage of their campaign and a photo of a car of supporters and a portrait of Bray. |

Øresunds chemiske Fabriker |
Øresunds chemiske Fabriker (lit. |
"Øresund Chemical Industries"), colloquially known as Kryolitfabrikken (The Cryolite Factory), was a cryolite processing plant established in 1859 at Strandboulevarden in Copenhagen, Denmark. |
The company was established as Fabrikken Øresund by Th. |
Weber & Co. in 1859 based on a plan by professor Julius Thomsen (1826-1909) for manufacturing washing soda from cryolite from a cryolite factory in Greenland. |
The activities were later that same year expanded with an alum plant and a few years later with a "Stråmasse" plant. |
Gustav Adolph Hagemann started working for the company as a student in 1864. |
In 1865, when he had completed his exams, Kryolit Mine og Handelsselskabet sent him to the US to oversee the deliveries of cryolite to the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company. |
In early 1856, he travelled to the US to provide technical support in connection with the first deliveries of cryolite from Greenland. |
With inspiration from David Alter's nearby production site, Hagemann began to work on improving methods to manufacture and purify bromine from salt well. |
He obtained several patents and in the spring of 1868 established his first plant in Pomeroy, Ohio. |
Fabrikken Øresund was hit hard and went into administration when the market price of washing soda suddenly dropped dramatically in 1866. |
When Hagemann visited Denmark in the summer of 1869, C. F. Tietgen convinced him to purchase kryolitfabrikken Øresund in a partnership with Vilhelm Jørgensen (1844-1925). |
Hagemann then sold his bromine manufacturing activities in the US and settled permanently in Denmark. |
Hagemann and Jørgensen changed the name of the company to Øresunds chemiske Fabriker in 1870. |
That same year they also expanded the plant with a sulfuric acid factory. |
The production of soda decreased from the 1870s and was discontinued in 1894. |
The production of sulfuric acid had already been discontinued in the 1880s as a result of a contract with Fredens Mølle. |
The core activity was from then on purification of cryolite for use in the global aluminium, glass and enamel industries. |
The company was in 1902 converted into a public limited company ("aktieselskab"). |
In 1912 it was converted into a "kommanditselskab" solely owned by Vilhelm Jørgensen's son, C. F. Jarl (born1872). |
