About the Acquisition

We unfortunately know as little about the background of the donation as we do about the donor, G. Hoppe. However, in the inventory entry and in the administration report from 21 January 1864, his name is always listed together with his official title: "Legation Secretary" or "Legation Official". So as far as we know, Mr. Hoppe was employed in the Foreign Service.
